    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Oregon has one of the largest gaps in the country between its highway and bridge maintenance needs and what it spends on addressing them, according to a national study. Oregon is falling behind on transportation maintenance, with the state transportation department facing a $200 million shortfall in the 2027-29 budget cycle. A recent study from The Pew Charitable Trusts shows that Oregon also lags most other states in what it needs to invest in its roads and bridges to meet condition targets. Th
