Major New Projects are projects which cost ODOT more than $5 million and which do one or more of the following:  increase mobility, provide connectivity, increase the accessibility of a region for economic development, increase the capacity of a transportation facility, or reduce congestion.  This definition includes all new interchanges proposed for economic development or local access, any significant interchange modification, bypasses, general purpose lane additions, intermodal facilities, major transit facilities, or passenger rail facilities.

The Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC) places a priority on state, interstate and U.S. routes.  The TRAC will not fund projects on local roads or projects with a total project cost under $5 million. 

Examples of eligible projects:

• Adding an additional lane on a state highway or interstate.

• New interchanges.

• New facilities that bypass congested state highways or interstates.

• New rail lines for public transportation.

• Capital cost for ITS facilities.
