The committee is charged with finalizing a prioritized list of projects for the $100 million program that the Oregon Transportation Commission will review at a public hearing in May. The OTC is scheduled to make its project selection in June.
A complete list of all the review committees’ recommendations is available on the ConnectOregon web site.
It’s time now for ConnectOregon applications to be reviewed via “modes” (aviation, marine, rail, transit and freight). On Jan. 17, members of the various modal review committees will receive project packages. Reviews will get underway in the next few weeks. Each committee sets its own agenda and schedule.
Each project is also being assessed for feasibility independent of modal committee review; these Feasibility Reports will be completed in early February and will be available to the modal committees prior to the end of the modal review period. Ineligible projects and projects that did not provide sufficient detail will be eliminated from the process and will be notified.
An additional review of economic benefit to the state, completed by ODOT economists and reviewed by the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department, will also be available to modal reviewers in early February.
