Relating to matching grants for cities; and prescribing an effective date.

Summary

The bill amends state law to allow the Oregon Transportation Commission to provide matching grants for safety improvements near schools and for broader transportation projects. It reduces the cash‑match required from small incorporated cities (populations under 20,000) based on size and project cost, and lets those cities use grant money for planning, engineering and construction. The changes aim to lower financial barriers for projects that make walking and biking to school safer.
