Tax Allocation
MDT is pleased to notify you of your new fuel tax allocation provided by the 2017 legislature
thru the Bridge and Road Safety and Accountability Act (BaRSAA) Program (House Bill 473).
The new user fee was effective on July 1, 2017.
As provided for in MCA 15-70-130, by March 1 of each year the Montana Department of
Transportation (MDT) must allocate BaRSAA funds to each city, town, county and consolidated
city -county government in Montana. BaRSAA program funds are in addition to the existing fuel
tax distributions provided for in MCA 15-70-101 and 7-14-102(2).
BaRSAA funds are allocated in the same proportion and using the same ratios provided for in
MCA 15-70-101(2)(b), (2)(c), and (3). Allocations are calculated based upon the statutory
formula. Road mileage reflects each city and county's locally certified mileage received by
MDT this past year and the population estimates are based on the 2019 US Census Bureau's
population estimates. The allocation available for your local government to request beginning
March 1 is summarized below:
