  12. What are ODOT’s plans for dealing with the HTF shortfall Issue? • After that, ODOT will have to consider the following: • Not awarding new projects with federal funding • Prioritizing reimbursements to contractors consultants, vendors, and local communities • Possibly cancelling all or portions of prior year projects utilizing federal funds

  13. Again, we must reiterate… • ODOT is confident that the federal government will take the necessary steps to provide adequate funding to the HTF to avoid a significant negative impact to the economy nationwide.

  14. How does ODOT’s approach differ from others? • Other states have reduced or eliminated their capital program in anticipation of this shortfall. ODOT continues to move forward and deliver the capital program in an aggressive manner. • August Redistribution, earned over $240 million in FFY’s 2010 – 2013 combined due to our aggressive approach
