Attend a committee meeting

The project is guided by two community-led committees that advise the project team on topics such as project design and contracting guidelines. View past committee meetings and learn how to attend upcoming committee meetings:

• The Executive Steering Committee is made up of local government officials and community-based organizations in our region. The committee advises the OTC and ODOT on major decisions related to the project’s design and construction.
• The Community Opportunity Advisory Committee is made up of community stakeholders who are construction and workforce professionals, as well as individuals with key insights on how to effectively create Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) and workforce programs. The committee works to develop and measure equitable engagement with DBEs for the construction phase of the project.

Learn about workforce opportunities

ODOT is pursuing its most ambitious Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and on-the-job training workforce goals to date. We are intentionally setting contracting and workforce goals to hire DBEs. We have identified over 100 potential types of construction opportunities that small and DBE firms can bid on.
