The Oregon Transportation Commission selected projects from every area of the state for funding through the ConnectOregon III program. ConnectOregon is aimed at improving the state's multimodal connections by funding non-highway projects (rail, marine/ports, aviation and public transit). The program is helping make the most of the public's investment in Oregon's transportation system, attracting and sustaining business and jobs in Oregon and ensuring Oregon is connected to world markets. It is a valuable addition to the significant investments Oregonians have made recently in our highway network.
