Idaho Transportation Board
Chairman's Message
The Idaho Transportation Board is a citizen group appointed to serve Idahoans, to address the
state’s transportation needs, and to represent the interests and needs of the traveling public.
In Idaho, few things are more important to our way of life than a safe, efficient transportation system.
We rely on the freedom it affords us. It connects our communities with the rest of the nation and supports our state’s healthy economy.

Who Makes the Decisions
The seven-member Idaho Transportation Board meets once a month to oversee the
operations of the Idaho Transportation Department. The Idaho Transportation
Board establishes state transportation policy and guides the planning,
development and management of a transportation network that is safe,
efficient and enhances Idaho's economy and quality of life. The Idaho Transportation
Board normally meets six times in Boise and six times across the state annually.
Idaho Transportation Board Appointment
The governor appoints the board members, who are confirmed by the Idaho Senate.
Six members represent each of ITD's administrative districts and the seventh member
is selected by the governor to serve as chairman.
Terms
Six of the seven board members are appointed to six-year terms beginning
February 1. Terms are staggered so that one member's term expires each year.
The seventh member serves at the pleasure of the governor, acts as chair
and casts a ballot only in the case of a tie vote. No more than four members
may be of the same political party.
Compensation
Members of the Transportation Board are paid $75 for each day they are involved in
