AB  - This paper examines the methods by which a regional transportation agency, the Ada County Highway
District (ACHD), has diversified its funding programs and created new initiatives to address the growing
funding gap for transportation infrastructure that has proliferated at national, state and local levels. ACHD
is a unique agency in that it has jurisdiction over the local public highway system within six cities and the
county in Ada County, Idaho, and manages aspects of the state highway system within its jurisdiction.
The multi-jurisdictional role of ACHD has fostered numerous financing strategies and partnerships among
state and local government entities, as well as the private sector, to address local transportation needs in
an innovative and productive manner. A series of policy statements developed by ACHD in the mid-1990s
serve as the impetus for these programs, which locally projects the philosophy and intent of innovative
financing programs established through Federal transportation bills.
