The Oregon Transportation Commission, through the Oregon Department of Transportation, announces the application process for unallocated federal stimulus funds provided to Oregon under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
At its Feb. 27, 2009 special meeting, the Oregon Transportation Commission approved 31 projects for $122.6 million, in addition to $10 million in projects under the Transportation Enhancement program. The commission deferred another 15 projects for $68 million until March and opened a process to allow other jurisdictions to make a case for projects that can obligate the federal funds within 120 days and provide jobs this summer. Today, the department released the application process, which is necessarily on a short time line.
Key dates are:
- March 9, 2009 - Applications must be received at ODOT’s Oregon Transportation Commission office by 5 p.m. on Monday, March 9.
- March 11, 2009 – The commission will hold a special meeting in Room 122 of the Transportation Building in Salem from 1 pm. to 3 pm. to allow applicant testimony.
- March 18, 2009 – The Commission will consider allocating funds to projects at its regular monthly meeting in Room 122 of the Transportation Building in Salem.
Application information, forms and criteria are available online. Applications cannot exceed three pages, excluding maps and/or letters of recommendation.
