Fwd: Senate Bill 1601 - Governor signed.

[Richard Hughes]

This bill just signed by the governor will redirect funds from other programs to fund ODOT, among other things.

Here are some of the funds affected:

Lawmakers will take and reallocate:

• $5 million from the student driver training program
• $6 million from Oregon Highway 58 enhancements and expansions that have since wound down due to environmental issues and lack of local support
• $8 million from the Community Paths program for building and maintaining multi-use public paths(This is the $15 tax when buying a bike).
• $17 million from Safe Routes to Schools grant program (teaches kids to safely ride)
• $20 million from the Transportation Operating Fund, or the “lawnmower” fund, which is funded by non-road gas tax funds
• $35 million in dedicated revenue for bridge projects, seismic improvements, preservation of highways, culvert projects and safety projects
• $42 million from the Connect Oregon program, which provides grants for marine, aviation and rail projects
• $85 million of federal funds that can be tied to projects that don’t need a match from the State Highway Fund, freeing up those local dollars
