History of the OJUA
In November 1999 a task force was established by the Oregon Legislature to advise the Oregon Public Utility Commission at the direction of the Legislature, addressing issues pertaining to utility poles. The task force submitted proposed rules for determining appropriate sanctions for unauthorized attachments and criteria for certifying compliance with laws regulating pole attachments. The Oregon Joint Use Association (OJUA) was formed based on the initial work from the task force and the realization of what else needed to be accomplished to help the entire industry be successful.
Our Mission
Become a resource that builds trust, cooperation, and organization between support structure (pole) owners, users, and government entities that will result in a safe, efficient use of the Right of Way and a self-sustaining nonprofit association.
Our Future
Be a fully self-sustaining association that educates, establishes partnerships, and is the source of information and communication regarding the Joint Use Industry.
