Dear Oregon lawmakers, I'm contacting you about the 2025 Transportation Package now being negotiated. I want you to know that this is the time to align spending with values, to treat safety as non-negotiable, and to build back public trust through clear accountability, transparent project selection, and real performance metrics. This is our bottom line. The 2025 Transportation Package must include:
- A one-time 1% for Safety Fee on vehicles with revenue directed toward lifesaving infrastructure and safety programs,
- Dedicated funding for Safe Routes to School, Great Streets, and Oregon Community Paths,
- A statewide plan and dedicated revenue for upgrading and transferring deadly state highways to local control,
- Strong spending guardrails and public oversight to ensure safety dollars do not get diverted to highway projects,
- A transportation system that provides for people, not just those who can afford cars or are able to drive.
Thank you for your time and attention to these urgent needs.
