ODOT funding crisis
While ODOT’s funding crisis is having a profound impact on maintenance and operations, most planning projects will continue. These projects are typically funded through separate programs, often with state or federal funds that are legally restricted to project development, and cannot be used for maintenance or day-to-day operations.
