AI Summary
This bill requires the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to conduct a comprehensive study on vehicular accident rates near large entertainment events. Specifically, the bill defines an "entertainment event" as any performance or show attended by at least 10,000 people, such as concerts, sporting events, or theatrical performances. ODOT will be tasked with comparing accident rates in the same locations during and outside of these events, and then submit a detailed report to the Joint Committee on Transportation (JCT) by September 15, 2026. The report must include recommendations for preventing future vehicular accidents, potentially suggesting legislative changes. The study and reporting requirements will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, and the bill will take effect 91 days after the 2025 legislative session adjourns. This research aims to better understand and potentially mitigate traffic safety risks associated with large public gatherings.
