• Abstract:
  The Oregon Department of Transportation’s Solar Highway Program was developed in response to state and federal policies directing the development of secure, renewable energy; reducing carbon emissions; greening the transportation sector; and creating jobs through an economy based on green energy. In Oregon, these policies and goals are codified in ORS 184.423 (Oregon’s sustainability goals), ORS 468A.200 and ORS 468A.205 (greenhouse gas emissions), and ORS 469A (the Renewable Portfolio Standard). They are embodied in the Oregon Transportation Plan (Goal 4, Sustainability) and the Oregon Global Warming Commission’s Roadmap to 2020 along with supporting transportation and energy policy documents including the Transportation and Land Use Roadmap to 2020 and the Energy Roadmap to 2020. Federal supporting policy framework includes the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
