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.

The major activity in the Rehabilitation/Preservation budget is to apply preservation treatments to the existing pavement, as well as other items such as safety upgrades and traffic control.
