Potential current biennium cost increase - Highway Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
Allowing certain overweight trucks to operate for a limited period of time is likely to result in increased wear and damage to state roads, thereby increasing maintenance and repair costs incurred by the Department of Transportation.  The increased costs to the Highway Fund will depend on the circumstances of each authorized incident and can not be determined at this time.
