Council Members

The Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) was established in 1994 to represent Idaho cities, counties, and highway districts with transportation needs. LHTAC is funded by a small portion (less than 1%) of the local highway’s share of the state’s Highway Distribution Account and is governed by equal representation of city, county, and highway district elected officials from all regions of the state.

Our Council Meetings are always open to the public and we encourage you to attend to see what is on LHTAC’s upcoming agenda.
