Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: An evaluation of possible impacts of Indiana's participation in the International Registration Plan (IRP) on resident trucking industry and state economy is presented. The IRP is a multijurisdictional compact to share interstate truck registration fees among the member states and provinces. It is important to consider the total package of user taxes in making a decision about a possible IRP entry, which may change the registration fees for resident carriers. A careful consideration of any additional tax burden on resident carriers is particularly critical for states with a large number of registered trucks such as Indiana. The bottom line for any state is that it must capture fees from out-of-state carriers more closely representative of highway use. The issue is how this can be achieved without jeopardizing the sustenance and growth of local trucking and warehousing industry.
