The Small City Allotment (SCA) program is an annual allocation of state funds for local transportation projects. Incorporated cities with populations of 5,000 or less are eligible to apply. SCA funds may only be used on streets that are "inadequate for the capacity they serve or are in a condition detrimental to safety" (ORS 366.805). Projects are selected per competitive process, those projects that best meet this criteria will be selected for funding.
