STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27405 / SCR121
The purpose of this resolution is to acknowledge Idaho Transportation Department's (ITD) exemplary
performance in implementing innovation and cost-saving initiatives, and encourage all other governmental
agencies to consider similar activities. The ITD model of a worker-led initiative that was implemented with
minimal impact on existing resources, is a proven approach that exemplifies the "Idaho Way" of being good
stewards of trusted tax dollars.
In the past years, ITD has shown its commitment to effective management, and has streamlined its operations
to enhance efficiency. It has implemented innovation strategies that encourage all its employees to engage
in finding improvements to daily activities. ITD's effort to successfully develop and implement innovative
business practices have helped the agency save taxpayers' millions of dollars which has stretched resources for
other public safety projects, State's mobility and economic improvement.
Highlighting ITD's proven success provides framework for other government agencies to foster similar business
practices. This type of process improvement is beneficial for the State because it drives frontline involvement
in promoting efficiency and effectiveness of all aspects of government.
