Development of Recommendations to Address IRP Truck Licensing Impacts for Ohio Counties (State Funds)

The goal of this research is to expand upon a previously conducted study, Assessment of IRP Truck Licensing for Ohio Counties, aimed at assessing the economic impact of non-Ohio registered commercial vehicle fleets based within Ohio jurisdictions. The objective of this project is to provide recommendations for short- and long-term solutions to address the registering and/or fee allocation process for IRP registration within Ohio. As a result, this will enhance the state's ability to ensure the appropriate retrieval and allocation of IRP registration revenue for maintaining Ohio's roadways. It will also equip local officials with the tools needed to conduct their own investigations as the economic and business situation of their locality changes over time.
