Amends existing law to increase funding for state and local transportation through sales tax and adjustments to the Transportation Expansion and Congestion Mitigation program.

This legislation amends the Transportation Expansion and Congestion Mitigation (TECM) program found in Idaho Code Section 40-720 to provide for additional funds for Idaho’s roads and bridges. It increases the sales tax used already to bond for the TECM program from 1% to 4.5%, but not less than $67 million dollars. It also allows for local governments to participate in bonding.
