City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget Overview BUREAU MISSION: The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is a community partner in shaping a livable city. The bureau is responsible for planning, building, operating, and maintaining the systems that move people and goods safely and efficiently throughout the city. The Bureau of Transportation keeps Portland moving. BUREAU OVERVIEW, SERVICES, AND ASSETS: The Portland Bureau of Transportation’s work begins with long-term planning and policy development through the Transportation System Plan (TSP), where it sets goals regarding mode shift, reducing traffic congestion, improving safety, and coordinating transportation with land use. The bureau oversees the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure like roads, bridges, sidewalks, and bike lanes, ensuring that these assets remain functional and in good condition. It also manages traffic flow by controlling signals, monitoring congestion, and implementing safety measures such as speed limits and traffic calming strategies. Safety and regulation are another key focus, involving enforcement of parking rules, street use permits, and the design of safer streets based on crash data. Increasingly, PBOT emphasizes sustainability by promoting alternative modes of travel including walking and cycling and evaluating the types of equipment and materials used to deliver work while exploring new technologies like smart traffic systems. The system also includes the movement of goods and services through freight corridors as well as parking infrastructure like on-street parking in meter districts, and five parking garages. In recent years, newer mobility options such as ride- sharing, bike-sharing, and electric scooters have become part of the overall network. Together, these elements function as a coordinated system, with the transportation bureau ensuring they operate smoothly, connect effectively, and support a safe, accessible, and sustainable urban environment. PBOT manages a $21 billion transportation system with many elements. Some, like the Streetcar, aerial tram and roads, are large- scale pieces of infrastructure valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Others, like streets signs or sidewalk corners, support a mobile and connected city in smaller, but no less vital, ways. The number and variety of the assets in PBOT’s portfolio explain the wide-ranging and multifaceted nature of our work from the 4,700 miles of pavement to the 170,000 street signs, 60,000 streetlights, 450 miles of bike lanes, 6300 crosswalks and so much more FINANCIAL CONTEXT: PBOT is primarily funded through State Highway Funds (gas taxes & DMV fees), parking revenues, and other fees and charges. Despite effective cost control in the Transportation Operating Fund, other factors are negatively affecting the five-year forecast and are driving a $25 million ongoing General Transportation Revenue (GTR) shortfall, including: State Highway Fund losses of $18.5 million from the referral of HB 3991 (state gas tax increases) and a revised weight-mile revenue forecast from the Oregon Department of Transportation; parking revenue losses of $8.4 million due to lower than expected citation revenue collections and adjustments to future year meter revenue assumptions; and increases in central services costs of $3 million due to higher than forecasted rates. These negative factors are slightly offset by an assumption of additional Transportation Network Company Fee revenues and additional savings in future year debt service costs. BUDGET APPROACH/PRIORITIZATION: The $25M shortfall is addressed through the proposed implementation of a new Transportation Utility Fee. Summary of Budget Decisions RECOGNIZE NEW REVENUE FROM TRANSPORTATION UTILITY FEE ($23,350,000, 0 FTE) This package recognizes ongoing revenue of $23.35 million starting in FY 2026-27 and $46.7 million thereafter from the implementation of a Transportation Utility Fee. The TUF provides a stable, dedicated funding source to support essential maintenance, operations, and safety improvements. This revenue is critical to preserving existing assets and maintaining a safe and reliable transportation system. 835

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget RECOGNIZE NEW REVENUE FROM STREET DAMAGE RESTORATION FEE ($11,100,000, 0 FTE) This package recognizes ongoing revenue of $11.1 million starting in FY 2026-27 and $22.2M per year thereafter from the implementation of a Street Damage Restoration Fee (SDRF). The SDRF is assessed on permitted construction activities that impact city streets, providing a dedicated funding source to repair damage and maintain safe, reliable transportation assets. These funds will enable the bureau to accelerate street restoration projects, minimize long-term pavement degradation, and reduce maintenance costs by addressing damage promptly. The revenue also supports compliance with regulatory and policy requirements related to street use and construction impacts, ensuring accountability and sustainable management of city transportation infrastructure. RECOGNIZE NEW REVENUE FROM DEVELOPMENT AND STREET USE FEES ($3,101,054, 0 FTE) Create new fees for development related work and eliminate the interagency with Portland Permitting & Development that funded this work in previous years. The new fees will fund permitting work related to encroachments of the right of way, sidewalk and driveway permitting, sewer inspections, grade and gravel program, temporary street use development review, and public works design projects. No new services or positions are created through this package, it is only a change in revenues supporting existing work. INCREASE TEMPORARY STREET USE PERMITTING FEE REVENUE ($302,858, 2 FTE) This package adds two positions and $60,000 in operating supplies to support PBOT-installed parking reservation services. Expansion into non-metered areas requires dedicated field staff and supplies to deliver installations safely and consistently. This change in service will allow parking enforcement staff to focus on core enforcement duties and will reduce applicant costs and administrative burden. RECOGNIZE NEW GRANT REVENUE FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS ($1,100,000, 0 FTE) This package authorizes the acceptance of $850,000 in federal Congressionally Designated funding to implement transportation safety and infrastructure upgrades related to the OMSI Central City Master Plan and $250,000 to improve safety on SE César E. Chávez Boulevard between SE Lafayette Court and SE Schiller Street, a designated High-Crash Corridor. STREET SWEEPING PROGRAM ($2,400,000, 7 FTE) The FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget directed the bureau to initiate a residential street sweeping program. The package includes $1.1M in new ongoing General Transportation Resources, $1.3M of one-time resources, and seven additional positions. With these additional resources PBOT will be able to sweep 2,300 curb miles four times a year, flush 1,200 non-curb miles twice a year, add four dedicated parking enforcement officers to allow curb to curb sweeping, expand the leaf program throughout the entire city, and create a citywide communications plan by the end of FY 2027-28. DERELICT RV REMOVAL ($1,000,000, 0 FTE) The package allocates $1 million of ongoing General Transportation Resources to support the towing and demolition of derelict RVs from Portland Streets. For four of the past five years, the bureau has relied on one-time General Fund resources to supplement General Transportation Resources allocated to this work to ensure that program goals could be met. Starting in FY 2026-27, all efforts will be supported by General Transportation Resources. SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT AND PAVING PROGRAM ($500,000, 0 FTE) This package allocates $500,000 of General Transportation Resources to begin implementation of a Sidewalk Improvement and Paving Program (SIPP). This program supports efforts to repair, maintain, and expand sidewalk and road infrastructure across the city, improving pedestrian safety and accessibility. Funding enables targeted investments in sidewalk repairs and paving projects, prioritizing areas with the greatest need and aligning with equity and sustainability goals. HIGH-SPEED RAIL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE ($375,000, 0 FTE) This package allocates $375,000 in one-time General Transportation Revenues to advance and shape the study of future Cascadia High-Speed Rail (HSR) and evaluate potential station locations within the City of Portland. In December 2024, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) secured a $49.7 million federal grant agreement to advance Cascadia High-Speed Rail planning. To be prepared to participate in the study and advocate for the Portland station to be 836

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget within the City of Portland, City staff need to both participate in the WSDOT-led planning and conduct more detailed/city-scale analysis and evaluation. ELIMINATE CANNABIS TAX REVENUE SUPPORT OF VISION ZERO PROGRAM AND BACKFILL WITH GENERAL TRANSPORTATION REVENUE ($0, 0 FTE) This package eliminates all Cannabis Tax support for the Vision Zero program totaling $1,171,506. The program will remain whole (no reductions to services) through the allocation of new General Transportation Revenues. REDUCE STREETLIGHT REPLACEMENT RESERVES AND TRANSFER FUNDS TO GENERAL FUND ($7,000,000, 0 FTE) This package reduces the streetlight replacement reserve by $7 million and transfers those funds to the General Fund. The source of these resources is General Fund discretionary dollars that were transferred to the bureau in previous years for the future replacement of LED bulbs. The current cash balance of the reserve is $17.9 million. The LED bulbs are scheduled to be replaced starting in FY 2027-28. As a result of this transfer, additional funding or alternative financing methods will need to be explored in FY 2027-28 to replace these assets. ELIMINATE GENERAL FUND SUPPORT OF ALL PROGRAMS AND BACKFILL WITH GENERAL TRANSPORTATION REVENUE (-$134,864, 0 FTE) This package eliminates all ongoing General Fund support going to the bureau totaling $1,338,378. The programs supported by these funds include street sweeping, sustainability, paving gravel streets, and Sunday Parkways. The funding for sustainability efforts will be eliminated, but the street sweeping, gravel street paving, and Sunday Parkway programs will remain intact through the allocation of new General Transportation Revenues. 837
