Guidance Overview

Agency policy statements and guidance documents shall not have the force and effect of law pursuant to section 67-5207A, Idaho Code.

The purpose of the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-02 is to promote transparency in the decision making of state government. The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has undertaken a comprehensive review of guidance documents, including policies, manuals, memoranda and final orders that could affect the rights and interests of persons outside of the agency. Guidance documents serve to clarify existing statutes and regulations by guiding actions and decisions made by ITD. This web page is organized by subject and provides direct links to the guidance documents. Final orders and Hearing Officer Findings are also included for public knowledge and transparency, as well as their precedential value.

Within the topics are links to ITD guidance documents. Above each table, there is a box in the upper right-hand corner that allows the web user to search for relevant documents by typing in a word(s). The search results will display all the content in that table which contain the search word(s). Whenever possible, ITD has used common word titles to help the public better locate guidance documents of interest.

Once a guidance document of interest has been found, the table includes information such as a description, document type, and whether it is based on a law, rule, or other. A staff email point of contact is also provided for guidance documents.
