highway road and street fund.
(b) The auditor of state shall distribute to units of local government money
from this account each month.

sixty percent (60%) of the money shall be distributed on the basis of the population
of the city or town as a percentage of the total population of the county and forty
percent (40%) distributed on the basis of the ratio of city and town street mileage
to county road mileage.
(2) In counties having a population of fifty thousand (50,000) or less, twenty
percent (20%) of the money shall be distributed on the basis of the population of
the city or town as a percentage of the total population of the county and eighty
percent (80%) distributed on the basis of the ratio of city and town street mileage
to county road mileage.
(3) For the purposes of allocating funds as provided in this section, towns
which become incorporated as a town Towns that incorporate between the
effective dates of decennial censuses shall be become eligible for allocations
under this section upon the effectiveness of a corrected population count for
the town under IC 1-1-3.5.
(4) Money allocated under the provisions of this section to counties
containing a consolidated city shall be credited or allocated to the department of
transportation of the consolidated city.
(d) Each month the auditor of state shall inform the department of the
amounts allocated to each unit of local government from the local road and street
account.
SECTION 2. [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2004] (a) For purposes of

30, 2006, fifty percent (50%) of the total pickup truck
registrations in Indiana and for a county must be used.
(3) For the period beginning July 1, 2006, and ending June
30, 2007, seventy-five percent (75%) of the total pickup truck
registrations in Indiana and for a county must be used.
