The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has agreed to dedicate $5 million of economic stimulus funding allocated to the State of Oregon under the auspices of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) for small cities below 5,000 in population. This funding will be provided on a competitive basis for transportation-related projects, and the maximum allocation for any city submitting a selected project is $100,000. This funding will not require a local match and, at local discretion, may be converted from federal to state resources through fund exchange at 94 cents on the dollar. Project consideration associated with fund exchange will require public ownership of the street system within the project site, but will not require roadway classification within the Federal Aid Highway system.
