Formal and informal. ODOT personnel testify regularly on the status of ODOT programs before House and Senate Committees, the Joint Ways and Means Committee and the Legislative Emergency Board. ODOT introduces agency bills at the beginning of every session. ODOT provides information to the Legislative Fiscal Office to develop fiscal impact statements for proposed bills; occasionally gives technical support for bill and amendment drafting; and testifies on transportation-related measures. ODOT employs two dedicated legislative liaisons who provide an interface between the Legislative Assembly and ODOT's director and division administrators. The liaisons coordinate legislative committee testimony by ODOT personnel and provide periodic updates to the Legislative Assembly on activities of ODOT and the Transportation Commission. Legislative leadership, the co-chairs of the Ways and Means Committee and its Transportation Subcommittee, and the chairs of the House and Senate Committees on Transportation communicate regularly with ODOT leadership and liaisons, and occasionally request background information on ODOT programs, procedures and past legislation.
