21 Member Jurisdiction Responsibilities Now, how do we manage it? Three general categories: Administrative Audit Enforcement

22 Member Jurisdiction Responsibilities Administrative: 1. Provide a license plate, cab card and allow inter and intra-jurisdiction operations 2. Maintain uniformity 3. Calculate, collect and distribute fees

23 Member Jurisdiction Responsibilities Administrative (con t) 4. Disburse fees to others timely 5. Notify the IRP Repository of any changes 6. Assist member jurisdictions as necessary

24 Basing Requirements The jurisdictions differ in some respects a) Has an established place of business, or can demonstrate residence; b) Accrues some distance; c) Where the records are maintained, or can be made available.

25 The cost of an apportioned plate is based on: 1. The weight of the vehicle 2. The distance traveled in the reporting period. 3. The annual fees in the member jurisdictions where the vehicle will travel during the registration period.

26 Reporting Period If the first month of the Registration Year is: The Reporting Period is: January, 2014 July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013 February, 2014 July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013 March, 2014 July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013 April, 2014 July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013 May, 2014 July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013 June, 2014 July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013 July, 2014 July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013 August, 2014 July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013 September, 2014 July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013 October, 2014 July 1, 2013 June 30, 2014 November, 2014 July 1, 2013 June 30, 2014 December, 2014 July 1, 2013 June 30, 2014

27 How Does Apportioned Registration Work? Weight = 80K Distance = 100,000 Which jurisdictions were and will be traveled

28 How Does Apportioned Registration Work? 1. Actual distance reported in jurisdictions A, B, C and D; 2. Apportions in E for the 2 nd time with an estimate (no actual distance traveled); and 3. Adds F (never apportioned previously). Member Jurisdiction Actual/Estimate Requesting Registration Distance Percentage A Actual Yes 15, B Actual Yes 8, C Actual Yes 26, D Actual Yes 3, F Estimate (E1) Yes 4, Subtotal 58, % E Estimate (E2) Yes 7, Total 65, %
