Fast Act

President Obama signed into law the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act. The FAST Act reauthorizes federal surface transportation policy and funding through 2020. The five-year funding act is the first long-term federal reauthorization in over a decade. The FAST Act modestly increases transportation funding to ODOT and to local governments in Oregon.

For more details, please see ODOT's summary of the FAST Act, or view the legislation in its entirety.
