Oregon will be taking on more road and bridge projects in coming years as it uses an increase in car and truck taxes and fees to bond for nearly $1 billion in transportation-related improvements. The 2009 Oregon Legislative Session featured passage of House Bill 2001, called the Oregon Jobs and Transportation Act, a funding package that is based in part on an increase in truck weight-mile taxes, flat fees, registration fees, road use assessment fees, and heavy vehicle trip permit fees.
