The Transportation Investment Fund Capacity Program enables the Department to manage highway capacity construction programs that were previously designated Centennial Highway Fund, Critical Needs Highway Fund, and Transportation Investment Fund of 2005 as one program. This allows the Department to develop new capacity highways from the design stage through their completion without switching back and forth between line items for accounting tracking purposes.
During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $202,406,000 from all sources for TIF Capacity Program. This is a 16.2 percent reduction from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources.
The Construction Program of the Utah Department of Transportation is governed by the Utah Transportation Code 72-06.
The Transportation Investment Fund of 2005 was created under Title 72-2-124. The funds deposited into the Transportation Investment Fund of 2005 are to be used by the Department to pay the costs of maintenance, construction, reconstruction, or renovation to state and federal highways prioritized by the Transportation Commission through the prioritization process for new transportation capacity projects adopted under Section 72-1-304
