Hello,
I’m David House, PIO for DMV and Motor Carrier divisions at the Oregon Department of Transportation. We ask that all public records requests submit their request using an ODOT form so that we can clarify exactly what you need and track how quickly we get it to you.
Please use the ODOT form, not the DMV form, because you are requesting statistical and policy information, rather than personal information such as individuals’ driver records: Please start here: https://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/Get-Involved/PRR%20docs/0489_instr.pdf
One way I can help you speed this up is that Oregon’s terminology is “non-specified” gender, which we designate with an X on a driver license or ID card and in the holder’s record.
Also, in case it helps, I happen to have a recent count – as of Feb. 1, 2019, there were 3,030 card holders with the non-specified designation.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi David,
Thanks for letting me know about using the ODOT form and giving me some info on how many people have the non-specified designation on their licenses/IDs. I really appreciate it!

Hi,

Trucking Advisory
Legal waivers help keep commercial drivers on road
For more information: (503) 373-0000, option 1 for information about over-dimension loads; (503) 378-6699 for information about registration services
April 1, 2020
SALEM -- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and Oregon DMV have taken steps to help keep the holders of commercial driver licenses (CDL) and commercial learner permits (CLP) on the road during the COVID-19 response.
DMV is continuing to provide CLP knowledge tests and first-time CDL issuances by appointment only at six offices across Oregon.
Effective immediately:
* All Oregon CDLs expiring between March 1, 2020, and June 29, 2020, now expire on June 30, 2020.
* All Oregon commercial learner permits (CLPs) expiring between March 1, 2020, and June 29, 2020, now expire on June 30, 2020.
* All Oregon CLP holders are eligible to take the CDL skills test without regard to the 14-day waiting period.
* All Oregon CDL holders and CLP holders whose medical certification expired on or after March 1, 2020, retain medical qualification until June 30, 2020, if the medical examiner certificate was issued for 90 days or more.
FMCSA waiver in Oregon:
* DMV will not cancel commercial driving privileges for expired medical examiner certificates, if the medical examiner certificate was valid on or after March 1, 2020, for a period in excess of 90 days.
* DMV will grant an additional 90-day grace period before cancelling commercial driving privileges for expiring security background checks for hazmat endorsement holders. This reflects guidance from FMCSA and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
Scheduling an appointment at DMV:
CLP holders and new applicants may schedule an appointment for a knowledge test or commercial driver license issuance by calling their local DMV office phone number, 503-299-9999 in the Portland area, or 503-945-5000 elsewhere.
Offices open for CDL appointments:
* Baker City
* Bend
* Hermiston
* Medford
* North Salem
* Southeast Portland (8710 SE Powell Blvd.)
Scheduling CDL drive tests:
To schedule a CDL drive test, you must use a private third-party CDL tester business.
