• Description:
  Ohio local officials are concerned about IRP revenue shortfalls. County governments and taxing districts do not receive enough IRP revenue to fix pavement damage caused by commercial vehicles on local roads. Researchers determined this situation stems from a combination of Ohio’s IRP distribution process and the growing phenomenon of jurisdiction shopping, which occurs when companies register trucks in an IRP jurisdiction that is not the vehicle’s primary domicile location. In Phase II of this research, the research team evaluated six strategies to mitigate the impacts of jurisdiction shopping: (1) voluntary registration repatriation, (2) a domiciled vehicle voucher system, (3) redistribution of the IRP annual excess, (4) increased motor vehicle permissive tax, (5) increase IRP registration fees, and (6) a dedicated revenue stream. The implementation plan developed by the research team shows that the dedicated revenue stream has the fewest challenges and the most upside. Marketing and web design strategies should complement the state’s efforts to reform the IRP distribution process, as these can enhance Ohio’s IRP registration process.
