Transportation Bill Would Collect Three-Billion-Dollars In Taxes And Fees

(Salem, OR)  --  Oregon lawmakers are getting a transportation package today that's been in the making for a year and a half.  The plan will raise almost three-billion-dollars in taxes and fees over the next eight years.  It will pay for several projects in the greater Portland area such as an overhaul of Interstate 5 near the Rose Quarter and a system to charge vehicles that don't run on gas.  The final transportation bill could be voted on as soon as Saturday.
