- Total rebate funding: About $5.5 million.

Oregon Equity Map
70% of rebate funds are reserved for projects located within priority communities, defined as disadvantaged and rural communities. ODOT is using its statewide equity map to determine disadvantaged communities and the Office of Rural Health’s designation as non-urban to determine rural communities.
Program Rebate Amounts
Rebate Eligibility
To apply for a rebate under the Program, eligible applicants must:
