In 2001, the Oregon Legislature formalized the Oregon Freight Advisory Committee, or OFAC, through the passage of House Bill 3364 (now ORS 366.212). This legislation calls for the Oregon Department of Transportation Director to “appoint members of a Freight Advisory Committee to advise the Director and Oregon Transportation Commission on issues, policies and programs that impact multimodal freight mobility in Oregon.” This includes identifying high-priority freight mobility projects for consideration in ODOT’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Program and for the Connect Oregon program.

From The Street Trust:
Join us for The Street Trust Member Exclusive deep dive on Oregon’s just-ended legislative session, what gains were made, and what lessons we learned. With the lead lobbyist for safe streets and micromobility (provided through TST and our members’ support), we’ll share our insider analysis on why the transportation package failed, leading to the hundreds of devastating layoffs across the state we’re now facing. You’ll hear the urgent next steps for you to help ensure that jobs are recovered, what we need to do next as a community to fund safe streets, great transit and vibrant local main streets are fully funded.
NOTE: This event is open only to members of The Street Trust.

From Salmonberry Trail:
Join The Salmonberry Trail in our exciting ground breaking event at Waterfront Park in Wheeler!
The City of Wheeler is excited to announce that we are taking the first steps toward revitalization of Wheeler’s section of the Salmonberry Trail through partnership with the Salmonberry Trail Foundation and Tillamook Coast Visitors Association. We will be holding a Ground Building event and ceremony on July 12, 2025 from 1:00-5:00 PM. We truly could not be more excited for the recreational opportunities this trail will provide for our community.
This transformative project holds the potential to deliver lasting, meaningful benefits to our community. By linking the Willamette Valley to the Coast, it will not only strengthen regional connectivity but also invigorate rural tourism and empower small businesses. It champions public health and safe, active transportation options while expanding equitable access to the outdoors for all residents. Most importantly, it lays the foundation for sustainable infrastructure that will support our economy, environment, and quality of life for generations to come.
- We will have local vendors, music, games, and a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the beginning of this coastal section of the trail.
- July 12th, 1PM – 5PM
- Waterfront Park (500 Marine Dr, Wheeler, OR 97147)
