Small City Allotment Advisory Committee - SCAAC

Background

The Small City Allotment Advisory Committee (SCAAC) was established by ODOT's Executive Director of Transportation in consultation with the League of Oregon Cities. The committee is comprised of one representative from each of ODOT's five regions. Committee members must hold an official position within an eligible city located in the ODOT region they represent. The committee represents small cities interests while providing advice and counsel to ODOT regarding the SCA program.

Meeting Information

The next Advisory Committee meeting is July 23, 2026, 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

Meetings are open to everyone and the details with joining instructions are provided on the Oregon’s Transparency website.

The Program

The Small City Allotment program is an annual allocation of state funds for local transportation projects. Through an agreement between the League of Oregon Cities and ODOT. ODOT allocates $5M each year; half from city gas tax revenue and half from the State Highway Fund.

Pursuant to House Bill 3991 (2025), annual program funding is scheduled to increase to $6 million beginning with the 2027 funding cycle.

Statute (ORS 366.805) dictates that these funds may only be used upon streets:

That are not part of the state highway system,
That are within cities with populations of 5,000 or fewer; and
That are inadequate for the capacity they serve or are in a condition detrimental to safety.

Funds are awarded through a competitive process with projects competing against other projects within the same region. Each project is evaluated, scored and ranked based on the program's established criteria. Funding is limited to $250,000 per project.
