Capital Program
About

 

ODOT Public Transit Division helps public transportation providers obtain funding for capital vehicle, equipment, and facility assets. The division most commonly provides funds for projects that replace transit vehicles which meet or exceed the useful life standards established by the division. The division also provides funds for capitalized preventive maintenance and for vehicle purchases to expand public transportation services in Oregon. This funding assistance allows public transportation providers to maintain vehicle fleets that are safe, in good condition, and appropriately designed for the designated routes. In addition, the division provides funds for purchase and construction of facilities and equipment to support public transportation service in Oregon.

Maintaining Vehicles
 
Selling Vehicles

 

Use the links below to help determine fair market value for selling a vehicle. If the value is over $5,000, you must follow appropriate disposal procedures. Following the proper public process is important for disposing of any ODOT Public Transit Division grant-funded vehicle. Private nonprofit agencies may not be allowed to sell a vehicle without assistance from a local public agency or the statewide surplus system through Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Surplus Property. Vehicles may be sold via online services such as E-Bay rather than transporting them to the Salem lot.
