SALEM — A subgroup
of the legislative commit-
tee crafting a statewide trans-
portation package has recom-
mended an increase of $255.6
million to $312.4 million in
annual spending to upgrade
roads and bridges.
That would require raising
revenues equivalent to a 9- to
11-cent increase in the state’s
30-cent gas tax. The money
would likely come from
a combination of sources,
which could include a hike in
the gas tax, registration fees,
tolling or other options.
“Even the equivalent of
11 cents is yet to be deter-
mined,” said Sen. Betsy John-
son, D-Scappoose. “This is
all highly fl uid.”
The state now spends
about $1.3 billion a year on
transportation maintenance
and upgrades. The Oregon
Transportation Commission
has recommended spending
an additional $574 million
a year to upgrade roads and
bridges to ease congestion,
particularly in the Portland
metro area.
But the legislative sub-
EO Media Group
A subgroup of the legislative committee hammering
out a transportation package has called for up to $312
million in new spending to upgrade roads and bridges.
That would require a revenue hike equal to an 11-cent
increase in the gas tax, though the money could come
from a variety of sources.
group could not reach a con-
sensus on an amount, said
Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontario,
who led the group.
“We didn’t reach consen-
sus on much of anything, but
I think we all agreed we need
to do something,” Bentz said.
The
recommendation
comes from the fi rst of fi ve
subgroups from the legisla-
tive Committee on Trans-
portation Preservation and
Modernization, each work-
ing on different aspects of the
package. The other groups
are coming up with sugges-
tions for easing congestion,
improving pedestrian and
cycling commutes, coming
up with accountability mea-
sures and addressing air and
rail needs.
The four other groups will
report their recommendations
tentatively by early April .
“We have never done a
process like this where we
have negotiated a giant pack-
age functionally in pub-
lic, and pieces are going to
come and go,” Johnson said.
“We’ve got a long, long way
to go.”
