🚨 Oregon Snowmobilers — Your Input Matters!
The Oregon Department of Transportation is asking Oregonians how Oregon’s transportation dollars should be spent.
The Rebuilding Our Transportation Vision Survey covers transportation priorities, funding, accountability, safety, and where state transportation dollars should be directed.
For Oregon’s snowmobile community, road and bridge maintenance, access to our rural communities and public lands, and responsible use of transportation dollars all matter.
This is your opportunity to make your voice heard! 📣
⏰ The survey takes less than five minutes and is open until September 10 at 6:00 PM Pacific Time.
👉 Take the survey:
