Oops. Because UDOT used outdated Census data, some cities received too much in road funds and others too little

The Utah Department of Transportation shortchanged some cities and counties — and gave others too much — as it spread their shares of state road funds because it used outdated Census numbers when it calculated the distributions.

State Auditor John Dougall issued that finding on Thursday, and UDOT agreed to make things right.

“In their next distribution, they will start to remedy the past error,” he added. “So if you got too much this time, you will get a little less moving forward. If you got too little, they will boost you up to fix the error.
