LOC News
All Cities Asked to Complete Transportation Surveys
The LOC is working in partnership with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to report on the use of local road and street revenue, expenditures, and debt finances. This year’s reporting will be more comprehensive than past years as we gear up for a 2027 transportation package from the Legislature.
Cities with a population of 5,000 or more, as of July 1, 2025, are statutorily required to complete the state’s Local Roads and Streets Survey (LRSS) every year. The LRSS captures information required to report to the Federal Highway Administration and to the Oregon Legislature on road and street financing for local jurisdictions. Cities should have already received information from ODOT regarding this survey. Please contact Evan Rogers at economics@odot.oregon.gov if your city has not received the questionnaire, or with any questions related to filling it out. Cities are required to submit this survey by September 30.
The LOC is also asking for additional information to inform our advocacy during the 2027 legislative session. All cities, regardless of population, are asked to complete this survey by October 9. The survey captures information on city transportation systems and relevant needs, as well as high level revenue and expenditure information for cities with a population less than 5,000. Take the survey.
Thank you in advance for completing the survey. The LOC is only as strong as the tools we are equipped with, and the information requested in this survey helps us better understand and represent our member cities’ needs in the Capitol.
