OTA Takes on State of Oregon, ODOT for Overcharging Weight-Mile Tax

OTA and three member companies have filed suit in Douglas County Circuit Court to address the disproportionate overcharging of motor carriers for road use under the state’s weight-mile tax.

OTA & Industry Happenings

Like our members, OTA is busier than ever these days. Find out where we've been and what we've been up to. With the legislative session, a number of infrastructure projects and proposed rules, our advocacy team has been juggling Zoom/Teams meetings and in-person appearances to ensure that Oregon's trucking industry is fully represented when and where it matters. We will also post opportunities for members to be heard - either in person or through something as simple as completing a survey or providing comments on industry-related topics.

Timely news from ODOT and other agencies will be posted here. We also want to hear from our members. When you have news to share, send it to info@ortrucking.org.
