After 14 years at the helm of 5837 Oregon Department of Transportation’s (ODOT’s) Road Usage Charge program, Jim Whitty has joined professional services firm 6219 D’Artagnan Consulting.

Whitty has 20 years’ experience advising legislative and executive branch officials and industry leaders on transportation revenue issues and policy development, with special expertise in development of transportation funding and funding alternatives, such as road usage charges, and public-private partnership programs.

He led Oregon’s efforts on road usage charge legislation for 14 years while serving as the administrator of Oregon’s Road User Fee Task Force, an independent policy body that developed usage charge funding policies for light vehicles that led to passage of the country’s first per mile charge law. He also crafted and orchestrated two successful per mile charge pilot demonstrations, the RUFPP in 2006-07 and the RUCPP in 2012-13 and the operational road usage charge program known as OReGO.
