FUNDING
Transportation Expansion and Congestion Mitigation
Transportation Expansion and Congestion Mitigation (TECM) funds are part of the Leading Idaho Program that allows ITD to accelerate project timelines to address rapid growth and build critical infrastructure today that would otherwise take years to fund and build.
The I-90 corridor is one of 13 approved TECM corridors in the state. Funding for future design and construction of the entire corridor has not been identified but will be determined based on project readiness and funding availability.
What is the Leading Idaho TECM Program?
To address the state’s rapid growth, the Idaho Legislature passed a historic transportation revenue package that Governor Little signed as part of his Leading Idaho initiative in May 2021.
The Legislation transfers $80 million dollars a year in the Idaho Transportation Department’s Transportation Expansion and Congestion Mitigation (TECM) fund. Leveraging these TECM
funds as debt service on bonds has yielded more than $1.5 billion in improvements.
Projects in TECM corridors will accelerate the construction of critical transportation improvements that would otherwise take many
years to build, reduce congestion, improve safety and modernize aging roads and bridges across Idaho.
