Build Nebraska Act: The First 10 Years (2013-2023)

 

The Build Nebraska Act (BNA) dedicated the revenue generated equivalent to one-quarter of 1% of the general state sales tax rate for expansion of the Expressway System, federally designated High Priority Corridors and reconstruction of the existing transportation system.

 

Revenue

This Act dedicated 85 percent of the revenue generated towards Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) projects and 15 percent towards local roads and streets. Revenue became available in fall of 2013, and is on track to generate an estimated $3.5 billion for NDOT before its sunset in June 2042.

 

Programs and Progress

In November 2011, NDOT announced approximately $600 million in investments to expand 17 expressway, interstate or national high priority corridors. To date, 16 of these corridors are complete or under construction, the one remaining is development and on track for completion before BNA sunsets in 2042.
