OPEGA

The Legislative OPEGA chose to review the entire URIP process and administration in 2007. A full and condensed report can be found here. Two recommendations were made for the Program:

1. Effective July 1, 2008, funding recipients must provide information on how URIP funds were expended from the previous fiscal year. The information collected will be used to chart the progress of improving public roads by the 502 Maine municipalities, counties, and Indian reservations that receive funding from this program.
2. Encourage Program recipients to enroll in the direct deposit option instead of receiving a paper check in the mail.
