Inclement weather is in the forecast for much of Oregon this weekend, with almost all counties under a winter storm watch or warning. The Oregon Department of Transportation has been clearing roads and responding to closures since late Monday, when the first round of storms hit the state. ODOT received $19 million last month from the Legislature to shore up winter maintenance services in the wake of its budget shortfall. The money will allow the agency to remove overtime restrictions on road maintenance staff and to purchase deicing chemicals and trucks used for snow plowing.
ODOT Communications Director Kevin Glenn joins us with more details about the agency's priorities this winter and how it's preparing for the incoming weather.
