Bend, OR – According to the city officials, a Transportation Fee is a recurring fee collected from residents and businesses because of their impact to the transportation system in City limits.

The fee provides a stable source of revenue to support our transportation system, allowing for safe and efficient movement of people, goods, and services.

The Transportation Fee is collected through the customer’s regular utility bill.

The fee is a charge, like a monthly sewer charge, to ensure users of the road system share the costs of maintenance needed to keep the street system operating at an adequate level.

The fee will be phased in and will start appearing on utility bills after July 1, 2024.
