How much is available?

$5 million each year, distributed annually through a competitive grant program.

Maximum funding request is $250,000.

Who can apply?

Incorporated cities with populations of 5,000 or fewer, that have all previously awarded projects completed, and their final reimbursement request submitted prior to May 1, 2025.

Is match required?

There is no match requirement and the ability to contribute funds to the project is not considered when scoring projects. Grant recipients are responsible for all project costs not covered by grant funds.

Project Selection

Funds may only be used on streets not part of the state highway system, and  that are insufficient for the capacity they serve or are in a condition detrimental to safety.

Project Evaluations

Projects are evaluated on current conditions and proposed improvements.

Regional ODOT personnel will conduct on-site evaluations for each application submitted within their region of employment. Streets in the most critical condition generally score the highest.  

Additional points are awarded  for 5-year population growth, and how many years have passed since a city last received program funding. To be eligible for the latter, cities must have applied during the last application cycle; points will be awarded for last year and each previous consecutive year applications were submitted but not funded.

How can I apply?

The application form can be accessed here:

2025 Small City Allotment Grant Application (cognitoforms.com).
