Oregon is implementing significant changes to its transportation funding structure that directly impact trucking companies and commercial fleets operating in the state. Under House Bill 3991, the Oregon Legislature approved an increase to the Oregon motor vehicle fuel tax and use fuel tax, raising the rate from $0.40 to $0.46 per gallon.
This fuel tax increase is designed to generate additional revenue for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), along with city and county transportation agencies statewide.
Where Will the Additional Fuel Tax Revenue Go?
The increased transportation funding will support:
- Highway and pavement preservation
- Bridge repair and replacement
- Freight corridor improvements
- Traffic safety enhancements
- Public transit investments in rural and urban communities
For fleets running through Oregon, these improvements are critical to maintaining safe and efficient freight routes.
Oregon Diesel and Use Fuel Tax Compliance
For interstate trucking companies, Oregon’s fuel tax system requires careful compliance. Businesses must properly report under the Oregon Use Fuel Tax Program, particularly if they qualify for specific diesel tax exemptions or reporting requirements.
Misapplied fuel taxes can result in costly audits, penalties, or administrative complications. That’s why accurate tracking and jurisdiction-based reporting are essential for fleets operating in Oregon.
