The Region 1 Area Commission on Transportation (ACT) announced plans for a public meeting that will merge virtual convenience with the traditional in-person forum on Feb. 2. Set to take place at ODOT Region 1 Headquarters and online via Zoom, the meeting aims to facilitate accessible public involvement in discussing Oregon's transportation future. "Overview of 2027-30 Draft Statewide Transportation Improvement Program" and "Informing the ODOT Capital Investment Plan – action on top priorities" are among the key items listed on the agenda, per the Oregon Department of Transportation.
Ensuring attendees can test their tech before the formal proceedings, a connection trial is scheduled for 5:15 p.m., ahead of the 5:30 p.m. start. The meeting will be conducted in Conference Room A/B on the first floor of the ODOT Matthew L. Garrett Building, located at 123 NW Flanders Street in Portland, OR. Along with the in-person gathering, a virtual option for the public is available—no RSVP needed, just a click away on the provided link or a phone call to the dial-in number. They will be able to join online or by phone, ensuring participation across multiple platforms.
