Did you know that Oregon’s counties are responsible for the largest share of Oregon’s road system (41 percent), with over 32,000 miles of road and over 3,400 bridges? The Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) advocates for resources to support preservation, modernization and maintenance of the county road system, and serves as a partner to the state.
Counties receive funding primarily from the State Highway Fund, as well as gas tax, fees, and other sources. The State Highway Fund provides funding for the state, counties, and cities at a rate of 50 percent, 30 percent, 20 percent, respectively.
In addition, many grant and other funding options are available – such as the most recent investment from the federal government through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Below are some of the major funding sources for counties’ applicable resources.
