Current Law
One of the funding sources for the State Highway Fund is monies received from counties under a cooperative agreement, which include from bond issues. The state treasurer is required to deposit the monies into a special account by way of a concise written agreement between ADOT and the county. The agreement must state the purpose the county is surrendering the monies and what the monies must be spent on (A.R.S. § 28-1105).
A vehicle operator may purchase a 30-day excess weight permit for a fee of $75 or an annual permit for a fee of $600 to enter an international port of entry in a commercial vehicle. ADOT and the State Treasurer distribute 50% of the monies received to the State Highway Fund, 25% to counties located within the 25-mile commercial border zone identified on the permit, and 25% to cities and towns counties located within the 25-mile commercial border zone identified on the permit. (A.R.S. §28-1105)
