(Salem, OR) -- Lawmakers will return to Salem August 29 to vote on Governor Tina Kotek's plan to raise the gas tax and payroll tax to fund Oregon's roads and prevent ODOT layoffs. The proposal would increase the state gas tax by six cents to 46 cents per gallon and raise title and registration fees, while also phasing in a road usage charge for electric and hybrid vehicles starting in 2027. The payroll tax for transit would also increase slightly. The plan would eliminate mandatory tolling on major state roads, with a public hearing set for August 25 at the Capitol.
