Committee Questions and Requests Matrix
ODOT is committed to tracking and following up on all questions and requests we’ve
received from the Equity and Mobility Advisory Committee. This matrix is a living
document to be updated after each committee meeting. The matrix includes two tables.
The first table lists specific information requests and action items requested by the
committee. The second table compiles project recommendations and ideas we have
received from the committee and documents how the project team is responding.
Questions and requests that are complete are highlighted grey.
TIMING KEY
N/A: No Additional Action Needed. Near Term: Zero to six months. Long Term: Six months to
