The Department of Transportation is required by ORS 818.205 to establish a program for issuing continuous operation variance permits that would allow a motor carrier to obtain one permit that is valid for every participating jurisdiction in which the motor vehicle will travel. A road authority that does not participate may not issue a continuous operation variance permit offered by this program. The purpose of OAR 734-070-0100 through 734-070-0140 is to provide conditions for participation, program guidelines, and specify responsibilities, liabilities and fees of participants in the Continuous Operation Variance Permit Program.
