The ODOT Transportation Safety Office will hold several virtual community listening sessions about transportation safety over the next few weeks in each region of the state.
You’re invited to join the online session for your region and help us make roads safer for everyone.
What to expect at the listening sessions
Our partners from Portland State University will lead each session. They’ll give a brief overview of the three-year plan, then split attendees into virtual breakout rooms for group discussions on safety topics, led by a facilitator. The topics will be the same at each session, but the discussions will focus on specific local issues.

How we’ll use your feedback
Community feedback is an important, required portion of our three-year safety plan. We’ll use your comments during the group discussions to inform our safety strategies in the plan, including ways to influence travelers to make safer decisions.
We’ll also focus on solutions for communities and groups who are overrepresented in Oregon crash data.
More information about the three-year safety plan
Our three-year safety plan, known as the Oregon Triennial Highway Safety Plan, is a federal requirement for all state departments of transportation. Using crash data, states must outline how they’ll use federal safety funding to make roads safer over a three-year period.
Learn more about state Triennial Highway Safety Plans on the federal regulations webpage.
