The TREC Resource Hub: Empowering Communities for Better Transportation

Closeup of a map or blueprint

The TREC Resource Hub is a resource center that supports local, regional, and state agencies and tribal governments across Oregon by providing training, technical assistance, and technology transfer services to help meet state and local decarbonization goals while enhancing livability, economic opportunity, and community outcomes. Hundreds of millions in public and private funding will be invested in decarbonizing transportation over the next decade. The transportation sector needs better data, research, and tools for estimating, monitoring, and evaluating the impact of these activities.

The Hub provides Oregon local and regional public agencies and community stakeholders with the data, tools, resources, and skills to inform policies, programs, and projects to meet the growing challenge of providing a safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation system that meets the needs and demands of all Oregonians.

The Hub’s activities cover a range of topics, such as vehicle technology (including autonomous vehicles) fuels, planning and working with multiple transportation modes, system operations, pricing and funding, land use planning, and the design, construction, and maintenance of transportation assets.

The Hub will:

  • Convene stakeholders and build a statewide peer exchange network
  • Provide research and expertise support to state and local agencies
  • Host an online library of resources, tools, innovative technologies, and best practices
  • Provide technical support for grants and proposals for funding
  • Deliver in-person training, e-learning resources, and peer exchange events
  • Provide evaluation services for local and statewide projects.
