ACT Review Statutory Considerations - The reviewing ACTs must
take into consideration the following Statutory
Considerations, as per ORS 367.084(3):
• a) Whether a proposed transportation project
reduces transportation costs for Oregon businesses
or improves access to jobs and sources of labor.
b) Whether a proposed transportation project results
in an economic benefit to this state.
11/10/2016
ACT Review Cont.
• c) Whether a proposed transportation project is a
critical link connecting elements of Oregon’s
transportation system that will measurably improve
utilization and efficiency of the system.
• d) How much of the cost of a proposed
transportation project can be borne by the
applicant.
11/10/2016
ACT Review Cont.
• e) Whether a proposed transportation project is
ready for construction.
• f) Whether a proposed transportation project has a
useful life expectancy that offers maximum benefit
to the state.
11/10/2016
ACT Review Cont. • Based on the application materials, ACTs shall
determine whether a project thoroughly meets
each of the considerations.
• To thoroughly meet a consideration, a project shall
demonstrate through application responses that
the project will accomplish the intent.

Frequently Asked Question
• Does the ACT rank projects?
o The ACT’s role in the COAR grant process is to review applications for
airports within their ACT and complete one review sheet per project
application, based upon the applicant’s responses.
o The application scoring is formulated based upon the selections made on
the review forms.
o It will be at the discretion of each ACT to review the collective list of
statewide projects and provide their preferences to their member serving
on the ARC, but ultimately it will be the ARC that will rank and recommend
projects to the State Aviation Board.
11/10/2016
Next Steps • Combine project lists from ACTs and convene the
Aviation Review Committee (ARC)
On Going
• Finalize the agreement language
• Finalize the reimbursement structure (via the
agreement, not one size fits all)
• Online Grant Process
11/10/2016
Lessons Learned So Far • There is a lot to learn, both from the sponsors and
ODA
• Staff outreach was extremely helpful. We called all
public use airports in Oregon and talked to almost
all of them at least once.
• There is not a one size fits all solution to the ORP at
this point. Staff recommends a study to identify the
resiliency needs of the state.
• Get applications in early!
