Hello friends of Oregon transportation,

We’ve just received approval from the Oregon Transportation Commission to move forward with ConnectOregon VI, the state’s multimodal transportation funding program aimed at improving connections and supporting our economy. The 2015 Oregon Legislature authorized $45 million for the program, and we wanted to let you know the details.

Who is eligible to apply?

* Public agencies and groups
* Private entities
* Non-profit organizations

What kinds of projects are eligible? Eligible projects are those that involve and enhance the modes of air, bicycle/pedestrian, marine, rail, and transit. Operating costs and highway projects are not eligible.

Key dates

* Applications available: October 5, 2015
* Applications due: November 20, 2015
* Projects awarded: August 2016

Funding details

* $45 million is available
* At least 10 percent of the total fund ($4.5 million each/$22.5 million total) is dedicated to each of the five legislatively-designated regions. (See the website for a map.)
* Applicants must match at least 30 percent of total project costs.
* There is no minimum or maximum request amount.

For ConnectOregon VI, as in the past, modal and regional committees will review completed applications, and there will be opportunities for public input. In June 2016, a Final Review Committee will prioritize and forward its recommendations for funding to the Oregon Transportation Commission. An OTC public hearing on the recommendations, including final decisions, will be held soon after that, with approvals expected in August 2016.

ConnectOregon is an important strategy for ensuring Oregon’s transportation system is strong, diverse and efficient by making smart investments in multimodal projects. Please share this announcement with anyone who may be interested, and encourage others to sign up for our notifications (email address required).
