The Oregon Department of Transportation is updating Oregon’s Transportation Safety Action Plan to create a safer transportation system for everyone. This plan will guide decisions and investments to reduce crashes and eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries on Oregon roads. Traffic fatalities in Oregon have decreased since 2022, however fatalities and serious injuries remain high and are still much higher compared to a decade ago. The plan’s goal is to create a transportation system where everyone can travel safely, whether they drive, walk, roll, bike, or take public transportation.
As part of our partner engagement efforts, we are hosting a virtual meeting, March 19th from 10-11am. The meeting will review key crash data findings to identify issues and opportunities for Oregon’s 2026 TSAP safety investments.
The OTC is ODOT’s boss. In other words, the OTC, “establishes state transportation policy. The commission also guides the planning, development and management of a statewide integrated transportation network that provides efficient access, is safe, and enhances Oregon’s economy and livability.”
