The Interim Joint Interim Committee On Transportation Funding will meet in the State Capitol on 08/25/2025 3:00 PM, Hearing Room F.  Below are details on how you can submit online comments directly into the State Capitol.

• Kotek’s gas tax/wage tax plan will cost many families of four around $300 a year in higher car costs.
• That $300 in higher costs is NOT going to new mega-projects/new bridges but to pay for exploding costs of ODOT.
