Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
More money for public transit riders
The law lets the Oregon Department of Transportation spend $196.6 million more on public transportation for the 2025–27 biennium, ending June 30, 2027. This expands spending authority from fees and federal reimbursements to carry out House Bill 3991. The department can fund more transit projects and operations statewide during the biennium.
More audits and research on transportation
The law lets the Secretary of State’s Audits Division spend $479,446 more in 2025–27 for work tied to House Bill 3991. It also gives $300,000 to the Legislative Policy and Research Committee to support implementation. The Department of Administrative Services gets $500,000 to review the highway cost allocation study method. These steps strengthen oversight and planning for transportation during the biennium ending June 30, 2027.
More funding for Oregon transportation operations
The law raises Oregon’s transportation department spending limits to carry out House Bill 3991 in 2025–27. It adds $2.43 million for finance, $1.15 million for administrative services, $3.75 million for commerce and compliance, $0.25 million for policy and data, and $0.19 million for project delivery. This expands spending authority from fees, other receipts, and federal reimbursements to support day-to-day work.
Cut to state emergency fund this biennium
The law reduces the General Fund appropriation to the Emergency Board by $800,000 for the 2025–27 biennium, ending June 30, 2027. This lowers the pool of state money available for emergency allocations.
