Issues addressed by the Transportation Council include funding, ODOT reform and accountability and interstate/intrastate rules and regulations.How We Work
The AOI Transportation Council functions much like a task force. It is called into action at the request of the AOI Chair when issues arise. Issues arise usually from the Board of Directors, but occasionally from the membership. The Council works through technical issues, develops public policy recommendations for the Board of Directors and serves as the Board's technical advisor for infrastructure concerns.- TRANSPORTATION
