Democratic lawmakers in Oregon unveiled a comprehensive plan on March 3, 2023, aimed at addressing a significant transportation deficit faced by the state. Under this proposal, Oregonians would incur higher costs at the gas pump, face increased fees for car and bike purchases, and see additional deductions from their paychecks to fund transit improvements. This initiative stems from extensive discussions over the past two years to prioritize transportation needs, particularly concerning basic maintenance, while facilitating the completion of key projects such as the Rose Quarter highway and Abernethy Bridge in Portland.
