Oregon faces a uniquely difficult transportation funding challenge: it has no statewide sales tax, no active tolling and a gas tax that is steadily losing revenue as vehicles become more efficient and electric.
So what happens when your primary funding source disappears and your backup options are politically or structurally constrained?
This panel explores how Oregon is confronting that reality through road usage charges and other emerging strategies. Panelists will examine its policy tradeoffs, political dynamics, and technological infrastructure shaping the state’s path forward.
