During the past two legislative sessions, the Governor and Idaho Legislature dedicated non-user revenue towards road and bridge projects. In 2021, House Bill 362 dedicated 4.5% of sales tax collections towards transportation; the first $80M to ITD and anything above that to local jurisdictions through the Highway Distribution Account formula. For FY22 the local share is estimated to be around $25M.

In 2022, the Governor requested and the Legislature approved $200M to road and bridge maintenance, to be split 60% to ITD, 40% through the Highway Distribution Account formula. This additional funding came from surplus FY22 funds.

Both of these payments will be made in July 2022. Please see the attached spreadsheet to see the total amount your jurisdiction is scheduled to receive in July. Please note that, unlike previous funding increases, there is no special reporting for these funds. However, each LHJ should be able to report/account for how these additional funds were spent.
