A transportation funding proposal by Oregon Democrats would bring in more than $1.8 billion per year in fiscal year 2029 and more than $2 billion annually by 2034 according to a revenue analysis circulating in the Capitol.
The article from OPB dated June 13, 2025, discusses Oregon's new transportation bill, which aims to allocate over $5 billion in spending over the next decade. The bill focuses on improving road infrastructure, public transit, and promoting sustainable transportation options. Key highlights include significant investments in electric vehicle charging stations, bike lanes, and pedestrian pathways, alongside traditional road maintenance and bridge repairs. The funding for these projects will come from a combination of increased fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and federal grants. The bill has received bipartisan support, with legislators emphasizing its role in enhancing safety, reducing congestion, and addressing climate change through reduced emissions.
