AOC Meeting Talks Transportation Funding

County officials from around the state gathered at the Association of Oregon Counties meeting last week.  Hood River County Commission Chair Jennifer Euwer says state funding, or the lack of it, was a big topic.  Euwer noted one main discussion point was ensuring that the split of Oregon gas tax dollars remain at 50 percent to the state, 30 percent to counties, and 20 percent to the cities.  She adds with the gas tax funding diminishing as electric vehicles become more prominent, there’s a need to find another revenue source for transportation, but what to use is a matter of debate.  Euwer said funding to replace aging infrastructure was another major discussion point.
