The Class B & C road system with a funding program was established by the Utah Legislature in 1937 as a means of providing assistance to counties and incorporated municipalities for the improvement of roads and streets throughout the state.
The Funds differ from ordinary local revenues inasmuch as they are subject to administrative direction by the State in accordance with legislative provision. The Utah Department of Transportation is the administrative authority on behalf of the State.
Rule R926-3 designates those regulations which are acceptable to the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) in the administration of funds for counties, cities, and towns provided for by the Utah Legislature. The Appendix includes the Statutory Provisions relating to “B” & “C” Road Funds.
Update of Mileage Used for Allocation of Class B & C Road Funds
It is the responsibility of counties and municipalities to update their Class B or C mileage with UDOT when any changes have occurred. UDOT cannot add new road mileage to the system without first receiving proper documentation from the local agency to place on file.
Class B & C mileage can be updated by each entity as often as once per year. Changes will be made in the next bi-monthly allocation executed after the documentation is received by UDOT.

Betterment Guidelines
Betterment Guidelines
Use the Betterment Agreement Form when a local agency requests that betterment work be included in a Local Government or UDOT project. Refer to the Guidelines below for planning and administering betterment work and completing betterment agreements.Planning Guidelines for Betterment Work
Discussions about potential betterments should be held with Local Governments or Local Agency Stakeholders early in the planning and concept phases of highway projects. The early identification of potential betterment opportunities gives Local Agencies time to secure funding or budget for the betterment work, and insures that the work becomes part of the project scope from the beginning. The opportunity to update aging utility facilities, increase capacity to anticipate future growth, improve mobility, safety and aesthetics in conjunction with the construction of highway projects is a benefit to the Local Agency as well as UDOT. Performing betterment work concurrently with highway work provides cost efficiencies for the Local Agencies, and helps insure that newly constructed or reconstructed highways are not impacted by local utility and roadway projects for many years to come. The incorporation of Local Agency betterment work into highway projects should be encouraged and accommodated, provided that the work does not interfere with the project delivery schedule during design or construction.Comptroller’s Office Guidelines for the use of Betterment Agreements
The following guidelines have been issued by the UDOT Comptroller’s Office (May 4, 2009) on the processing of betterment agreements. These guidelines have been issued in response to an increasing number of questions relating to local agency deposits.Design and Construction Guidelines for Betterment Work
Local Agency Betterment work is incorporated into highway project contracts in different ways. Betterment work may be designed by UDOT or its consultants, or the work may be designed by the Local Agency or its consultants and incorporated into UDOT’s contract. Betterment work designs should be planned and developed to be compatible with the roadway design as well as the existing and relocated facilities belonging to other third parties. Local Agency Standards and Specifications can be included in UDOT’s contract documents.cpotter@utah.gov
Safe Sidewalk Program
Safe Sidewalk Program
The Utah State Legislature recognizes the need for adequate sidewalk and pedestrian safety amenities and state policy affirms the need to include pedestrian safety considerations for all projects where foot-travel is a significant factor. The Safe Sidewalk Program provides a legislative funding source for construction of new sidewalks adjacent to state routes where sidewalks do not currently exist and where major construction or reconstruction is not planned for ten or more years.Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)
Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)
These funds are available for transportation alternatives projects like pedestrian and bicycle facilities, recreational trails, community improvements such as historic preservation and vegetation management, and environmental mitigation related to stormwater and habitat connectivity.Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program
Safe Routes to School Program
There is growing concern in Utah and nationally about the safety of children who walk or bike to school. With increased traffic congestion around schools, students who choose to walk or bike have limited safe routes, which discourages this healthy activity.Maintenance Responsibilities
