Asking and Getting... ODOT's Nightmare?
When truth is revealed it shows a completely different story...
STOP! If you haven’t heard the podcast we released yesterday, you might want to listen before you read on…
On the other hand, we can share a ditty of information that might not settle well with you… it didn’t with us. ODOT’s administrative numbers, which they say they do not have, have actually been in their hands since August of 2023.

Article 2 - Everything you wanted to know about how tolling is revealed, to this point, in the Concept of Operations packet. It is a maze of information intermingled with multiple entities. No wonder admin fees are so high.
Points of interest, Section 5.1.1 Vehicle Classification, 5.4.2 Invoice Escalation Process (and the graph below it), 6.5 Reciprocal Toll Enforcement and 7.2 Back Office. But truly this is an interesting read.
