Opportunity Fund: $13 million

The Opportunity Fund is used to leverage federal, state, regional and other funding opportunities by providing local matching contributions for competitive grant opportunities. To date, the Opportunity Fund has leveraged almost $63 million in external funding, using $12.5 million in MSTIP funds—more than $5 from regional, state or federal sources for every $1 in MSTIP funds.

Large Project Match: $30 million

This new allocation provides a flexible central matching fund source for large federal or state grant opportunities (versus setting aside match funds for one or two specific projects). Eligible projects submitted cy cities and the County as part of the 3f Funding Allocation process:

• 170th Avenue project (Commissioner District 2)
• 185th Avenue MAX Light Rail Overcrossing project (Commissioner Districts 1, 2 and 4)
• Basalt Creek Parkway Extension project (Commissioner District 3)
• Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy/Oleson Road/Scholls Ferry Road intersection design and alternatives analysis (Commissioner Districts 1 and 2)
• Farmington Road project (Commissioner District 1)

Rural bridges: $10 million

Replacing aging timber bridges in rural Washington County is a critical safety and connectivity part of our road maintenance program. Rural bridges like these are not generally competitive for MSTIP-funded improvements.

Rural bridge projects funded through previous funding allocations for rural bridges include:

• Scotch Church Road Bridge Replacement (MSTIP 3e)
• B Street Bridge Replacement (MSTIP 3e)
• Timber Road Bridge at Gales Creek (MSTIP 3d) (PDF 239.81 KB)
• Gales Creek Road bridge over Gales Creek (MSTIP 3d) (PDF 222.56 KB)

Intelligent Transportation Systems: $2 million

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) projects use technology to improve our transportation efficiency, mobility and safety. ITS make it safer and easier for people to drive, cycle, walk and roll.

This allocation allows us to continue implementation of our ITS Plan. We typically use it to leverage funding to supplement other funding or projects. See Intelligent Transportation Systems
