EASTERN OREGON – The Oregon Department of Transportation has announced that they have extended their Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) online open house through January 24. This will allow more time to learn about the plan and provide feedback.

What is OTP?

According to ODOT, the OTP “sets the vision for all the ways people and goods move including walking, biking, rolling, public transit, highways, railroads, freight and even planes.

Oregon’s transportation system provides access to jobs, healthcare, childcare, food, housing, recreation and leisure activities. It connects to quality of life, a vibrant economy, environmental health, and social equity.

From major bridge improvements to local sidewalk projects, an updated OTP will guide transportation investments for the whole state over the next 20-25 years.”
