    ODOT Receives PacTrans Outstanding Partner Award

    The PacTrans Outstanding Partner Award is presented to partners for outstanding collaboration in research, sponsorships, mentor/internship opportunities, event participation/facilitation, or assistance with technology transfer initiatives. This year, PacTrans is pleased to announce this award goes to the Oregon Department of Transportation.

    The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is a department of the state government of the U.S. state of Oregon responsible for systems of transportation. It was first established in 1969. It had been preceded by the Oregon State Highway Department which, along with the Oregon State Highway Commission, was created by an act of the Oregon Legislative Assembly in 1913. It works closely with the five-member Oregon Transportation Commission (the modern name of the Highway Commission) in managing the state’s transportation systems. They partner with PacTrans in many ways including: on individual research projects, participate in our external advisory board, and actively participate in our conferences and workshops.
