ODOT plans broader oversight—statute covers $250M projects; agency proposes including $50M projects

Staff told CIAC members that statute defines major projects as those over $250,000,000, but they recommended expanding the committee’s practical review threshold to projects of $50,000,000 and above to capture useful lessons across a broader portfolio. Tovah Pals said the statutory $250 million threshold applies, "but we're expanding it down to be more inclusive and to to have more engagement," and noted that only a handful of projects meet the $250 million statutory threshold.
