Envisioning Oregon's Transportation Future

ODOT

Roads and bridges wear out over time, and have to be replaced. 

But entire transportation systems--roads, rails, air--require attention to keep up with demands of travelers and shippers. 

In Oregon, theGovernor's Transportation Vision Panel paid that attention, in a comprehensive look at the state's transport needs.  Among the findings: Southern Oregon needs more transit, and more seismic retrofits to guard against earthquake damage.  Vision Panel Co-Chair Tammy Baney, a Deschutes County Commissioner, joins us with word of process and potential.
