A state advisory committee will oversee a study, using new federal methods, to see whether highway costs are fairly allocated among road users, The Spokesman-Review has reported.
Those steps are being taken to try to avoid the problems in a 2007 study on the same issue. That study's authors said possible glitches in Idaho's record-keeping and software used for the study may have affected the data. Idaho Transportation Department Director Pam Lowe said the problems at the time were too complex and needed too much time to fix, so the study was scrapped.
Idaho Gov. Butch Otter said he's all for bringing in the advisory committee this time around.
