The Oregon Department of Transportation
The Oregon Department of Transportation ("ODOT") Office of Innovative Partnerships and Alternative Funding ("OIPAF") is through the Oregon Initiative Partnerships Program ("OIPP") seeking expressed interest from automobile manufacturers and suppliers to participate in ODOT OIPP's Road Usage Charge Pilot Program ("RUCPP"). Providers of automobile in-vehicle telecommunications and informatics (telematics) equipment and system supply chain providers are invited to respond. Providers of aftermarket only technology (those not currently used or planned for future use by automotive manufacturers) need not apply. This is a preliminary step as ODOT OIPP may issue a subsequent formal Request for Proposal ("RFP") for the purpose of selecting one or more participants to augment the current RUCPP.
Interested parties will be asked to provide equipment, systems and/or services which are representative of current or future factory installed in-vehicle telematics. Participation in the pilot will allow companies to showcase their relevant qualifications. The results of the RUCPP will provide state decision makers essential information regarding the ultimate design and structure of a statewide (and possibly multi-state) mileage based user fee system.
