Save-the-Dates: State Transportation Package Legislative Listening Tour

Save-the-Dates: State Transportation Package Legislative Listening Tour

Feb 28, 2024 | OACES

In early February, the Joint Committee on Transportation (JCT) released a 2024-25 Beginning Conversation Draft Action Plan for the development of the expected 2025 State Transportation Funding Package. The document included the following tentative dates* for a statewide listening tour in the 2024 interim. AOC encourages you to save-the-date for your area meeting and be prepared to testify on behalf of your county’s local road, bridge, and transportation needs and priorities.

*Please Note: the schedule is tentative, and the committee has yet to schedule any official listening tour dates.

County road project tour suggestions: If your county has a project or particular facility that would convey county road needs to the legislature, please click here to fill out a short survey and help AOC compile a list of tour options.

As the listening tour dates approach, the AOC County Road Program and Oregon Association of County Engineers and Surveyors (OACES) will be providing additional suggested talking points, statewide county road needs data, and individual county road priorities one-pagers, to help your county share its needs effectively with the legislature.
