Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. { + The interim House and Senate committees related
to transportation shall, in consultation with the Oregon
Transportation Commission, local governments, metropolitan
planning organizations and other transportation stakeholders:
(1) Review the responsibilities given to the state, counties
and cities for improvement, maintenance and management of the

develop one or more pilot programs to implement congestion
pricing in the Portland metropolitan area and study the effect
congestion pricing may have on reducing traffic congestion. Pilot
programs may include, but need not be limited to, time-of-day
pricing with variable tolls.
(2) No later than December 1, 2010, the commission shall report
to the interim House and Senate committees related to
transportation on the work of the commission and department in
designing and implementing the pilot programs. + }

January 2, 2016. + }
SECTION 5. { + The Department of Transportation shall provide
information about transportation projects on the department's
website. + }
SECTION 6. { + (1) As used in this section 'least-cost

with local governments and metropolitan planning organizations,
develop a least-cost planning model for use as a decision-making
tool in the development of plans and projects at both the state
