OTREC Board of Advisors

OTREC’s structure includes an external Board of Advisors (BOA) consisting of representatives from transportation-related organizations, primarily in Oregon. The role of the BOA is to help develop OTREC’s foundation and provide guidance on OTREC’s overall mission. These members are our advocates and champions, regionally, statewide, and nationally. The role of the BOA includes:

  • Long-range planning and direction.
  • Identify priority research topics.
  • Review annual report and plan for the future.
  • Serve as a connection to key agency partners at state and federal levels and with industry.
  • Provide OTREC with statewide, multimodal, public/private perspectives on research, education and outreach.
