Oregon voters will decide in May 2026 on a transportation tax hike to fix a $242 million shortfall.
Oregon voters will decide in May 2026 on a proposed transportation tax increase, after lawmakers passed Senate Bill 1599 to move the referendum from November.
The measure, signed by Governor Tina Kotek, aims to address a $242 million shortfall at the Oregon Department of Transportation by raising the gas tax, vehicle fees, and payroll taxes.
Democrats argue the earlier vote enables timely planning and prevents staffing cuts, while Republicans claim the change undermines voter intent and vow to challenge it in court.
The decision follows a campaign that gathered 250,000 signatures to place the issue on the November ballot.
