Source of Expenditure Increase:  

Installation of signs in chain up areas

Assumptions: 

Signs

The fiscal impact of installing signs in chain up areas is estimated at $24,000, if the Department of Transportation uses folding signs at a cost of $2,000 per site for the I-80 locations, South Pass and Teton Pass. 

Chain Up Areas

Installation of chain up areas (places for vehicles to put on and take off chains) on both ends of each of the I-80 locations (Sisters, Bitter Creek Hill, Summit, Elk Mountain) would cost approximately $1 million per location or $8 million in total.  South Pass and Teton Pass currently have locations that can be used as chain up areas.
