The funds gener- <br />ated flow through existing state- <br />administered programs including moderni- <br />zation, pavement preservation, and bridge <br />replacement and rehabilitation. <br />Three separate funding packages have been <br />approved under the OTIA program. OTIA I <br />and OTIA II, the two transportation bills ap- <br />proved by the 2001 Oregon State Legisla- <br />ture, provided a total of $500 million in state <br />bonding proceeds to modernize and preserve <br />Oregon's transportation system. With local <br />matching funds of $146 million, the total <br />program amounts to a $646 million invest- <br />ment in the state's infrastructure. Of the <br />$500 million, the Modernization Program <br />Preservation <br />'.lion <br />received approximately $250 million, bridge <br />replacement and rehabilitation projects re- <br />ceived approximately $175 million, and <br />pavement preservation projects received ap- <br />proximately $75 million. <br />The 2003 Legislature passed OTIA III, <br />which provided an additional $1.3 billion to <br />replace and repair state bridges, $300 mil- <br />lion to replace and repair local bridges, and <br />$300 million for modernization statewide. <br />The OTIA I and II projects went to contract <br />prior to 2008, so they do not appear in the <br />project listings of this document.
