I Looked around...it appears that the Oregon transit tax portion is supposed to be in box 14 of your W-2 form, so your employer likely issued an improper W-2 form...need to go back and talk to them about issuing a corrected W-2.
__________________________________________
In 2018 Oregon issued this advice:
"W-2s and iWire filing
Where does the new statewide transit tax get reported on the Form W-2?
?There isn't currently a requirement to report the statewide transit tax on the Form W-2. We're analyzing the impact of adopting an administrative rule that requires statewide transit tax wages and withholding to be reported in Box 14 of the W-2. This prospective rule change would be part of our fall 2018 rulemaking process. The draft rule would be posted on our website for review, and there would be the opportunity for public comment on the potential impacts of this requirement."

In September Ernst & Young issued this confirming box 14:
"— Form W-2 reporting. The Department will require employers to report the subject wages and withholding amounts for Statewide Transit Tax on the Form W-2 in Box 14. Filers using Manual Entry in iWire will see the appropriate text boxes for entering this information. Otherwise, bulk filers using text files will find the appropriate W-2 specifications on the Eepartment's iWire."

But then Oregon later issued some rule indicating box 14 requirement to start in tax year 2019...with no indication of what to do for 2018 W-2 forms:
"(3) Reporting for Statewide Transit Tax Withheld.
(a) Employers must report statewide transit tax withheld in Box 14 of the W-2 with the designation ORSTT W/H in addition to the requirements in subsection (2)(a) of this rule.
Example: ORSTT W/H - $15.00
(b) Subsection (3)(a) of this rule is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2019."
