The third distribution of HB312 funds was released in April.
ITD Payments to Local Governments – Highway Distribution Account (HDA) FY16 QTR3
Please remember that reporting will need to be done on the additional HB312 revenue that your jurisdictions are receiving. Reporting for the HB312 revenue will be collected yearly on the Road & Street Finance Report.

That means more funding for LOCALS!
The legislature enacted HB343 that corrects the distribution formula and HB626 authorizes the transfer of the funds from special fuels.
In result of these two bills you will see a small additional distribution in July 2016. These funds are part of your Highway Distribution Account dollars and should be reported with the HB312 funds.
According to HB626 the State Controller is authorized to transfer the corrections. Below you find a summary of the transfers:
• $571,388.94 to the Local Highway Distribution Account
