Bill No. 2285, known as the Evacuation Vehicle Access Corridor Act, establishes a new revolving fund within the Oklahoma Department of Transportation called the "Evacuation Vehicle Access Corridor Revolving Fund" (EVAC Fund). This fund is designed to support the creation of evacuation corridors for residents living in geographically landlocked areas, ensuring their health and safety. The bill outlines that the fund will consist of all monies directed for deposit by law and will not be subject to fiscal year limitations. It also mandates that the Oklahoma Department of Transportation administer a grant program, the EVAC Grant Program, to provide financial assistance to counties demonstrating a material need for constructing roads in qualified landlocked areas.

The bill defines "landlocked" as areas almost entirely surrounded by land with limited access for motor vehicles, and "qualified area" as a landlocked basin with at least 2,000 residents and minimal road access. The grant program will require counties to submit standardized applications to receive funding, with the total grant amounts not exceeding the funds available in the EVAC Fund. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
