    The Oregon Transportation Investment Act (OTIA III) State Bridge Delivery Program replaced or repaired hundreds of aging highway bridges throughout the state. Grouping the work by highway corridors allowed contractors of all sizes, including small businesses -- woman-owned, minority-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises -- to bid on bridge program work. Since work started in 2003, 86 percent of the program's contracts have been awarded to Oregon-based firms.

    Oregon businesses and individuals earned more than $1 billion after taxes from work on the bridge program.
