Transportation Electrification
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will be hosting three community meetings along I-5 to discuss the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program and we want to invite you and your organization. The purpose of these meetings is to provide an overview of ODOT’s fast-charging station plans along specific corridors, and most importantly, we want to hear from you. We hope you will attend and share this invitation with others in your community to tell us what you’re most excited about and to discuss any concerns you may have related to the program.
