Godspeed to anyone doing social equity work for ODOT. Probably gonna be laid off or reassigned since Kotek appointed a director with a demonstrated recent history of bad hiring practices and defying DAS requirements for state agencies re: equity and inclusion.

Fuckin yikes

Amtrak (with ODOT and WSDOT) pays for the runs to Vancouver, BC doesn't contribute much and Canada itself doesn't do much to force compliance by the freight railways. The rail quality north of the border is awful and the goddamn bridge...

Five year old story:
“Henderson will be thrust into the Rose Quarter project debate as ODOT struggles to hold it together”

Huh, maybe time IS a flat circle

Indeed her takes are rather horrifying. I believe she may still work there based on the ODOT website.
November 16, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Wow!!! Her tweets are quite offensive all on their own, but the fact that she was in leadership at ODOT--that just blows my mind. Also, she's an inspirational speaker??? What?? How does that work? 😂

She gained fame by competing in the para Olympics and then giving a TED talk. She's somehow got a position with ODOT. www.oregon.gov/odot/safety/... She sued the city for not sweeping sidewalk, and she's the most vicious social media poster, favorite insult "you're paralyzed from the neck up."

OREGON: Before signing this, be sure you understand the details. Do you really want to freeze ODOT funding that would likely cost jobs and prevent road maintenance while waiting on a vote? What if the vote fails? Increased fees suck but this could be far worse.

Failing to adequately fund ODOT would be a big set back for Oregon. If you think traffic is bad & some roads are pothole heaven just wait if this funding fails.

ODOT built that new gigantic flyover so shipping traffic can safely navigate the Scioto.

Just kidding. Its for more cars. Billions of dollars and 20 years of constant construction just so it can handle MORE traffic. Maybe we should try less traffic as an option instead.

Idk Portland lore enough to know how she became relevant besides just being a truly awful person and she used to post hateful tweets on her personal account while on the clock as ODOT staff 😵‍💫

I’d guess it’s this. $7m for real time traffic signs. 🙄

The changes underway at ODOT are major and are likely going to change what Oregon was expecting out of its transportation system in the decade ahead.
