ODOT’s Budget Crisis: Roads Are Failing, But the Spending Keeps Growing

  • Summary

  • Oregon’s roads are failing—but the Department of Transportation says they need more money. In this episode of Oregon D.O.G.E., Senators Daniel Bonham and Bruce Starr and Representative Shelly Boshart Davis expose the truth behind ODOT’s $6 billion budget, the $1.1 billion “forecasting error” that went unnoticed for months, and how mission creep and wasteful priorities are breaking the system.

    We talk snowplow shortages, ADA ramp cost overruns, “curb cuts to nowhere,” and the billions being funneled into non-core programs like DEI and bike lanes—while the roads fall apart.

    It’s a must-hear conversation for anyone who’s ever asked: What is government really supposed to do with my taxes?
