Ballot question
The ballot question was as follows:[1]
| “ |
Since 1990, Ada County voters have twice approved a local vehicle registration fee to increase transportation mobility and safety. The funds, generally matched with impact fees from development, underwrite projects to reduce traffic congestion and to build neighborhood-level improvements under the jurisdiction of the Ada County Highway District. Registration fees (currently $40 maximum on a new vehicle, less for an older one) have not kept pace with growth and construction costs. This measure would reauthorize and increase the fees to exclusively provide congestion relief, to undertake major road improvements and other large mobility projects, and to continue the enhanced funding of neighborhood projects and safe routes to school. RATE OF VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEES a. Each automobile, pickup truck or other motor vehicle having a maximum gross weight not exceeding eight thousand (8,000) pounds, designed for the purpose of carrying passengers, and not used for hire: Vehicles seven (7) or more years old ---$42.00 Vehicles three (3) to six (6) years old ---$63.00 Vehicles one (1) and two (2) years old ---$70.00 b. Each motor vehicle, equipped to carry passengers and operate primarily for hire and each school bus, identified in I.C. 49-402(2) --- $28.00 c. Each motorcycle and terrain vehicle ---$14.00 LENGTH OF TIME This annual vehicle registration fee will start January 1, 2019 and will be in effect until altered by voters. [] A YES (approve) vote will reauthorize the local vehicle registration fees. [] A NO (disapprove) vote will retain the existing fees.[2] |
