Open Houses

Take the Regional Mobility Pricing Project Survey though Oct. 9.

The Mobility Pricing project aims to reduce bumper-to-bumper traffic and pay for transportation improvements by tolling portions of I-5 and I-205 in the Portland metropolitan region. The project is part of the Oregon Toll Program, which also includes the I-205 Toll Project.

ODOT developed tolling options on I-5 and I-205 and analyzed how well they meet traveler and regional needs. Your feedback will help ODOT understand community priorities and inform next steps for what tolling will look like in the Portland metro region. Learn more
