2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 10 - Highways, Military|Chapter 366 - State Highways and State Highway Fund|Section 366.290 - Adding to or removing roads from state highway system; responsibility for construction and maintenance.

(1) The Department of Transportation may select, locate, establish, designate, improve and maintain out of the highway fund a system of state highways, and for that purpose may, by mutual agreement with several counties, select county roads or public roads. By an appropriate order entered in its records the department may designate and adopt such roads as state highways. Thereafter the construction, improvement, maintenance and repair of such roads shall be under the jurisdiction of the department. (2) In the selection of highways or roads to be included in the state highway system the department shall give consideration to and shall select such county roads or public roads as will contribute to and best promote the completion of an adequate system of state highways. (3)(a) With the written agreement of the county in which a particular highway or part thereof is located, the department may, when in its opinion the interests of highway users will be best served, eliminate from the state highway system any road, highway, road segment or highway segment. The road, highway or segment becomes a county road or highway, and the construction, repair, maintenance or improvement, and jurisdiction over the road or highway will be exclusively under the county in which the road or highway is located. (b) In addition to the funds provided under ORS 366.762 to the county, the department may annually provide funds out of the State Highway Fund to address the additional costs to the county for the construction, repair, maintenance or improvement of the road or highway over which the county accepts jurisdiction. (c) The agreement between the department and the county accepting jurisdiction must contain provisions to ensure that freight movement on the highway will not be restricted beyond the limits set in the agreement, unless the Oregon Transportation Commission, in consultation with the freight industry and the county, concludes that the restriction is necessary for the safety of the highway users. Nothing in this section prevents a county from taking emergency action to protect safety or place weight restrictions on a structure that is failing or otherwise damaged. (4) The construction, maintenance and repair of state highways shall be carried on at the sole expense of the state or at the expense of the state and the county by mutual agreement between the department and the county in which any particular state highway is located.

Before proceeding with a modernization project, or a series of modernization projects on a single highway, that might result in a segment of highway to which tolling could reasonably be applied, the Department of Transportation shall determine what portion of the costs of construction and maintenance could be recovered through tolls on users of the project. The toll potential of a modernization project shall be considered among other factors in determining which modernization projects should be included in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, with those projects with the greater potential to be self-funded through tolls ranking higher. A determination under this section may be based on assumptions that a single toll would be imposed or on assumptions that tolls would be imposed that vary depending on time of day or any other condition the department deems relevant.

(4) Nothing in this section shall impair vested rights of property owners under existing deeds, easements or contracts whereby the state or any county acquired such rights of way.
