Provo City council adopts phased increase to transportation utility fee to boost pavement maintenance
Summary
City council adopted a phased increase to Provo’s transportation utility fee—approved unanimously—raising projected annual revenue from about $2.7 million toward $4 million over three years to address pavement remaining service life and maintenance shortfalls.
Provo city staff told the Transportation Mobility Committee on Aug. 21 that the City Council adopted a multi‑year increase to the transportation utility fee to bolster street preservation funds.
City staff described the council action as a unanimous decision to approve an approximate 14% annual increase for three years. “We’re going to increase our fee from $2,700,000 to 4,000,000 on our transportation utility fees over the next 3 years,” a staff presenter said at the meeting. Committee members present acknowledged the action and asked about legal and political pushback from tax‑exempt institutions.
