SUBJECT: COVID-19 Impacts on Highway/Road/Street Funding - Update #3
DATE: July 13, 2020
To our Local Agency and Consultant partners,
Linked here is a memo from Stu Anderson, Director of the Planning, Programming and Modal Division and Charlie Purcell, Director of the Project Delivery Division at Iowa DOT, to Cities, Counties, MPOs, and RPAs dated July 13, 2020. This memo is intended to be an update to the June 22, 2020 memo, and is the first of regular monthly updates regarding COVID-19 impacts on state Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) revenue.
This memo reflects allocations that local governments should receive around July 21. Each month, they will provide updated allocation of RUTF figures/estimates, overall estimated COVID-19 impact of RUTF, some background on trends impacting RUTF, and updates on any related state/federal activities. These updates will be distributed in the same way as this update, and links added to the Local Systems COVID-19 website.
As a reminder, past RUTF payments to Cities and Counties can be found on the State Treasurer of Iowa website. Cities should select "Street Construction" for payment type. Counties should select "Secondary Roads" for payment type. To provide a visual of the revenue sources and allocations for Iowa RUTF, please see the Fiscal Year 2021 Transportation Funding Pipe Diagram. It should be noted that the estimates within this pipe diagram are from January 2020 and do not include potential COVID-19 impacts.
