$49 million road funding gap remains, Canyon County rejects registration fee

Canyon County voters have rejected a proposed $20 annual vehicle registration fee intended to address a $49 million road funding gap. The measure would have generated approximately $4.4 million annually for local road maintenance and paving projects. Nampa Transportation Director Crystal Craig noted that the city will continue to face challenges in funding deferred maintenance, as current impact fees from new developments are limited in their application for repaving existing roads.
