State of Iowa – The D-O-T is putting the finishing touches on a change in the way road use tax funds are distributed to counties. The D-O-T’s Stuart Anderson says the change was necessitated by the legislature.
Anderson says the Transportation Commission will still get county input.
The former committee had members who were county supervisors and county engineers, and they made the rules for distributing the secondary road fund and the farm-to-market road funds in the state’s 99 counties. He says keeping the committee in a new capacity gives them a link to the counties when making decisions.
The Transportation Commission approved the rules for distributing the county funds at its meeting Tuesday.
