What are ODOT’s plans for dealing with the HTF shortfall Issue? Daily reimbursement requests since 2010 Relying on the Federal Government to make the right decision and plug the HTF shortfall Current Cash balance will support continuing processes for 3 or 4 weeks with no major changes 11

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 12

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. 13
