Introduced

To revise the formula adopted in 1951 to allocate state road tax revenues between the state, county and local road agencies. The bill would change the formula from one based on the miles of road in a jurisdiction to one based on miles of lanes, which would have the effect of transferring more money to more densely populated jurisdictions that have more multi-lane roads. The formula has not been substantially changed since 1951 because there has never been a statewide consensus for changing the current balance between connecting distant communities across the state versus ending more on local roads in municipalities.
