Oregon's multi-billion dollar transportation infrastructure hasn't been maintained to keep up with population growth and freight traffic, hindering Oregon's ability to move people, commerce and goods effectively throughout the state. If critical improvements are not made, it is forecasted that congestion on our roads will increase by 42 percent by 2025, creating gridlock for commuters and further challenging Oregon's ability to compete in the traded sector economy. In addition, since transportation accounts for nearly 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, Oregon must reexamine how we provide transportation options that complement our carbon reduction strategy.
