Out of state truckers may pay more in Idaho

Out of state truckers may pay more in Idaho

LEWISTON (AP) - Some Idaho senators want to raise $57 million per year to build and repair Idaho roads. And they plan to get the money from out of state truckers.

It's part of a plan to ease a $200 million shortfall in transportation funding.

Senators Tim Corder and Shawn Keough introduced the bill Wednesday to charge all trucks that weigh more than 60,000 pounds a $660 annual registration fee.

The truck owners would then pay 4.5 cents for every mile they travel on Idaho roads.

Corder said, the current system lets out-of-state truckers drive Idaho roads without paying the full cost.
