Requiring the Commissioner of Highways to develop a formula for allocating road funds among districts

HB 2108 requires West Virginia's Commissioner of Highways to create a transparent formula for distributing road funds (both state and federal) among the state's 10 road maintenance districts and counties. The formula must consider specific, measurable factors including county population (from U.S. Census data), population growth projections, total lane miles, vehicle traffic volume, heavy truck traffic, and bridge count/condition. Before finalizing the formula, the Commissioner must collect public feedback through a 6-week comment period using multimedia outreach and make all comments publicly accessible online. The proposed formula must then be submitted to the Legislature for approval as a legislative rule during the 2026 session, ensuring counties and districts have a standardized method for fund allocation.
