Former AASHTO President and Utah Department of Transportation Executive Director Tom Warne has been tabbed to consult a Nevada transportation board task force to analyze the state’s future highway needs and financing options, the Las Vegas Sun reports.
The task force is in the midst of completing a report slated to be delivered to the state legislature in 2007. The Sun reports the task force is scheduled to meet Jan. 26, 2006. The group is trying to determine if Nevadans will support tax increases to help pay for highway projects.
