The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) announced a "celebrated transportation investment" that get-go January 1, 2022 increases by 3 percent fees for renewing vehicle license plates, getting new trip permits, and applying for vehicle titles.

An ODOT press release says, "Residents across the state are already seeing improvements funded by these fees. This includes hundreds of millions in improved metropolis streets, updated sidewalks and bicycle routes in school neighborhoods, reinforced bridges and roadways to withstand earthquakes and much more."
