Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Rehabilitation/Preservation Function The Rehabilitation/Preservation program is one of the largest recommended appropriations of any program at the Department of Transportation. Approximately $42 million will be available for highway rehabilitation projects based on Utah Code Section 72-2-106 UCA, which states that two/elevenths of the taxes collected from the motor fuel tax and the special fuel tax, exclusive of the formula amount appropriated to the Class B and C Road Account will be used for highway rehabilitation. The actual amount available will depend upon the total collection of motor fuel and special fuel taxes collected during the fiscal year. The balance of funding for the Rehabilitation/Preservation Program is $68,665,200 from Federal Funds. Some of the major activities in the Rehabilitation/Preservation budget are the traffic control program, the betterment program, and the reconstruction program. The Traffic Control program involves traffic signal lighting and other traffic control devices which are not within the scope of another state or federal aid construction project. The Betterment Program involves highway improvements which more than restore the highway to its former good condition without major changes in its original structure. Betterments, for the most part, are relatively small projects needed to take care of surface or drainage problems which are beyond normal maintenance The Reconstruction program, in general, involves widening, changing alignments, increasing the structural capacity, or improving the safety of existing highways. The program supplements the federal aid program in providing the funds needed to support rehabilitation needs which are ineligible for federal funding or are beyond the scope of projected federal aid.

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: State Construction - New Function The State Construction-New program is responsible for the construction of state highway projects that have prioritized importance as necessary highways but might not be eligible for federal funding. An example of projects that are considered in the State Construction-New budget is the Bangerter Highway. The $1,124,600 from the Designated Sales Tax is the required funding from provisions of Title 59-12-103 that appropriates $562,300 each year to State Park access roads and $562,300 to corridor preservation. Action of the Legislature during the 2007 General Session (House Bill 383) repealed provisions of Title 59-12-103 that required 3% of the amounts of sales tax collected from a 1/16 cent sales tax be used for corridor preservation and 3% for park access roads. Corridor preservation received direct appropriations for FY 2008 from other funding sources. Park access roads will now compete with other statewide transportation projects for funding.
