SB 2119 creates the "Preserving and Advancing County Transportation Fund" (PACT Fund) to distribute state transportation funds to Oklahoma counties. It directs 2/3 of the funds to counties based on population, traffic volume, military impacts, road mileage needs, and current highway maintenance ratios (aiming for $4,000 per county road mile), while the remaining 1/3 is split between road mileage (50%) and bridge counts (50%). An additional 1/3 of the fund specifically targets reconstruction of county bridges on major collector routes, evaluated on safety, structural condition, and public need. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, and affects all Oklahoma counties receiving transportation funding.
HB 4281 creates the "Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund" to dedicate state funding for road and bridge projects. It mandates annual appropriations starting at $80 million (increasing to $640 million by 2026) for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, prioritizing road/bridge construction, maintenance, and debt payments on transportation bonds. The bill also allocates $2 million yearly for the "Heartland Flyer" rail project and $3 million for public transit. These funds are separate from general revenue and must be spent per the bill's specified uses, with no new taxes or fees required.
HB 4280 increases annual funding for Oklahoma's Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund (ROADS Fund) to support road and bridge construction and maintenance. It sets specific annual funding levels: $575 million for fiscal year 2021, $590 million for 2022, $610 million for 2025, and $670 million starting in 2026. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to use these funds first for debt payments on highway obligations, then for road/bridge construction, maintenance, and matching federal funds. The legislation directly affects Oklahoma's highway infrastructure and the DOT's budget allocation process, with funding adjustments triggered by revenue shortfalls.
HB 4283 amends Oklahoma's Vehicle License and Registration Act to maintain a 7.24% allocation of vehicle fee revenues to the County Improvement Roads and Bridges Fund for fiscal years beginning July 1, 2019, and beyond. The bill specifies that any excess funds exceeding the 2015 fiscal year amount for this allocation must be transferred to the Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund instead of the General Revenue Fund. This change directly affects Oklahoma counties, which receive these funds to support local road and bridge maintenance and improvement projects. The bill does not alter other existing fund distributions or create new taxes.
HB 3444 allows Oklahoma counties to charge road impact fees on vehicles with overweight or oversize permits used in energy production, storage, or equipment (excluding certain energy-related equipment covered under separate law). These fees, calculated based on target ratio funding per mile, can increase by 50% if roads serve school bus routes, contain deficient bridges, or run near occupied homes. County commissioners must use collected fees exclusively for road maintenance, repair, or construction within their jurisdiction. The bill does not exempt fee-paying vehicles from existing road restrictions or liability for roadway damage caused by their use.
HB 2772 creates the "Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund" to provide dedicated state funding for transportation infrastructure. It mandates annual apportionments totaling $575 million for fiscal year 2021, increasing to $610 million annually starting in 2025, with $80 million allocated each year specifically for debt payments on transportation bonds before other uses. The fund must be used exclusively for constructing/maintaining state roads, bridges, highways, and related infrastructure - prohibited from replacing existing transportation funding - and requires annual oversight by the State Board of Equalization to prevent fund "supplanting." Additional smaller allocations ($2 million for the Heartland Flyer rail project and $3 million for public transit) are also specified within the funding structure. The bill became law on May 29, 2025, without the Governor's signature.
SB 67 creates a dedicated "Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety Fund" to finance road and bridge projects, requiring annual state funding that increases from $575 million in 2021 to $1 billion by 2033. The fund must first cover transportation debt payments before funding other projects, with strict rules preventing it from replacing existing state transportation budgets. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation manages these funds, and the State Board of Equalization must annually verify that the fund enhances - not supplants - state transportation spending. This bill ensures predictable, growing funding for infrastructure while protecting existing state transportation resources.
HB 2839, the "County Road and Bridge Funding Incentive Act of 2025," provides Oklahoma individual taxpayers with income tax credits for donating to county road and bridge funds. The credit percentage varies by county population: 100% for counties under 25,000 residents, 75% for 25,000-50,000, 50% for 50,000-75,000, and 25% for 75,000-100,000 residents. Credits can be carried over for up to five years but are capped at $25 million annually, with adjustments based on prior-year usage. Donations must fund repairs to existing roads/bridges (not new equipment) and are limited to individual donors, not businesses or other entities.
HB 1348 repeals Sections 1930, 1931, and 1932 of the Oklahoma Statutes (69 O.S. 2021), which established the Oklahoma Road User Charge Program. This bill directly ends the state's road user fee program, which charged drivers based on vehicle miles traveled. The repeal takes effect on November 1, 2025, eliminating this specific funding mechanism for transportation. The bill does not create new policies or affect other transportation programs.
HB 2272 allocates $25 million for county bridge reconstruction and $25 million for county road reconstruction on major collector routes (as defined by Oklahoma law) using unappropriated state funds for the 2026 fiscal year. Counties must submit projects to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, which evaluates them based on safety, structural condition, public use importance, traffic patterns, and detour impacts. County financial contributions also factor into project selection alongside objective funding distribution. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies specifically to county highway infrastructure on designated routes.
