LHTAC developed a simple way to report the usage of funds as a part of the Road and Street Finance Report that each jurisdiction is already required to submit, thus not adding burden and unwanted paperwork.
The clear and concise report shows local highway jurisdictions are complying with the Idaho Legislature’s direction on how to utilize the additional funds.
Most jurisdictions file their report online, so the information is available immediately. A paper submittal is still allowed. With a paper submittal, the report is sent to the State Controller’s Office, then forwarded to the Idaho Transportation Department and then LHTAC receives the information last. This has created a timing problem to report all information to the legislature by the first day of the session. LHTAC is working with ITD to find solutions to this problem. We will continue to collect the information and update this report to you on March 1, 2019.
The report shows continuing significant shortfall with the estimated $407 million dollars of statewide local needs that have not been addressed.
