The Oregon Department of Transportation, City of Portland and the Albina Vision Trust hosted the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Acting Undersecretary for Transportation Policy, Christopher Coes, and Director of the Departmental Office of Civil Rights, Irene Marion, celebrated $488 million in federal funding for two northeast Portland infrastructure projects
Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, undersecretary Coes and Director Marion serve as co-leads for all USDOT equity initiatives and play a central role in the federal Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods grant program, a product of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.
In March, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced $3.33 billion in grant awards for 132 locally led projects that reconnect communities.
ODOT was awarded $450 million for the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project, and the Portland Bureau of Transportation received $38 million for the Broadway Main Street & Supporting Neighborhood Connections project.
These two projects have been designed in collaboration with the community to reconnect lower Albina, the heart of Portland’s Black community that was severed by the original construction of Interstate 5 in the 1960s.
At Tuesday’s event, representatives from USDOT said that the partnerships and community leadership behind these projects have created a national blueprint for federal funding.
