ConnectOregon is a transportation investment program put in place by the 2005 session of the Oregon Legislature.  The program invests $100 million each biennium into transportation system improvements that are not road related.  This funding stream is available to upgrade airports, marine and sea ports, the rail system, and public transit.  After the initial program, successive legislatures have reauthorized the expenditure, so we are currently working on COIII.
