New House Bill 343 Corrects Special Fuel Tax

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

If you have any questions on this please contact LHTAC.

Moving People First Summit

Join us for a half-day summit on April 13, where we have a cadre of national speakers coming to Boise to discuss roadway design and how it has an impact on the health of our community.  The focus is to offer to the community different thought on street design, promoting “people-centered” street and road design.  Our community needs to think about all modes of transportation, how the ROW can be used effectively, and how this can lead to a better built environment – we hope this summit aids in the discussion.
