AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to develop a comprehensive corridor plan for Interstate 5 and Interstate 205 between Portland and Vancouver, Washington, with the primary objective of reducing traffic congestion. The plan must evaluate current transportation conditions and propose mitigation measures addressing traffic congestion, safety, environmental concerns, and multimodal transportation needs. ODOT is required to identify and prioritize potential improvements for all transportation modes and develop a financing plan to implement these improvements without using tolls. The department must submit a report with its corridor and financing plans, potentially including legislative recommendations, to the Joint Committee on Transportation by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that repeals these requirements on January 2, 2027, and specifies that the act will take effect 91 days after the 2025 regular legislative session adjourns sine die (without setting a day for further proceedings).
