Gov. Tina Kotek presses Oregon Department of Transportation to improve its performance

The governor's directive came in response to a new report from out-of-state consultants.
In a recent development, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has urged the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to enhance its performance, particularly in managing the state's transportation infrastructure. During a meeting with ODOT leadership, Kotek emphasized the need for better project management, timely completion of infrastructure projects, and improved transparency in reporting. She highlighted several ongoing issues, including delays in road maintenance and construction projects, and stressed the importance of ODOT aligning its goals with the state's broader objectives for economic development and public safety. Kotek's call to action comes amid growing public frustration over the state of Oregon's roads and bridges, and she has requested a detailed action plan from ODOT within the next 60 days to address these concerns.
