Senator Rick Metsger will embark on a statewide tour to build support for major investment in Oregon’s highway transportation system. The Moving Oregon Transportation Tour will focus on local transportation needs and priorities, with business and community leaders contributing their ideas for a sustainable solution. As Chair of the Senate Business and Transportation Committee, Senator Metsger has spent countless hours addressing the transportation problems facing Oregon. During the legislative session, he heard from many industry leaders, and from city and county officials. Now, he wants to hear from Oregon’s communities about the transportation issues they face every day.

We have provided three 30 sec. audio files regarding these efforts:
 
1. Defining the problem  
     
2. Framework for a solution  
     
3. “Moving Oregon” statewide transportation tour
