Q: Why is the DOT issuing a report now?

A: The 2005 General Assembly required the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) to conduct a study of current Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) revenues, and projected roadway construction and maintenance needs. The Iowa DOT was required to submit the report on or before Dec. 31, 2006. This mandate was contained in Section 85, House File 868, 81st General Assembly.
