Nampa Highway Dist

What Nampa Highway Dist does

Nampa Highway District No. 1 (NHD) is an independent political subdivision of the State of Idaho, governed under Idaho Code Title 40, Chapter 13. It is one of four highway districts serving Canyon County, with jurisdictional boundaries covering the southern portion of the county (bounded by Marsing Rd., Midland Blvd., and Ustick Rd., excluding City of Nampa and City of Melba roads). NHD is overseen by three elected Commissioners representing Sub-Districts 1, 2, and 3, each serving four-year terms, and operates with 39 employees led by Director/Engineer Nick Lehman, Clerk Paige Rhoades, and ROW Agent Eddy Thiel.

The district maintains approximately 734 lane miles (367 centerline miles) of roadways and associated signs, bridges, and culverts. Its technical scope includes a structured roadway maintenance program (seal coats on a 7-year cycle for main roads and 10-year cycle for subdivisions, asphalt overlays, full-depth rebuilds, and new construction), intersection improvements including multiple roundabout projects completed in 2025, bridge and culvert inspection under State and Federal standards, MS4 stormwater compliance, traffic studies using 85th-percentile speed methodology, and long-range transportation planning. Technical standards are documented in the NHD Supplemental Specifications and 2022 Highway Standards and Development Procedures, and operations are guided by a fiscally constrained Five-Year Work Plan updated annually.

NHD is funded primarily through property taxes within its jurisdiction, supplemented by federal and state grants (including FHWA partnerships) and permit and fee revenue (utility, approach, road cut, overlegal, event permits, land split applications, right-of-way vacations). Services are delivered directly through the district office at 4507 12th Avenue Rd, Nampa, ID, via field operations, and through a website offering downloadable forms, GIS maps, meeting minutes, and budget documents. Customers include general public/residents of southern Canyon County, property owners and developers requiring permits, and contractors/vendors participating in sealed-bid public works solicitations. NHD engages in multi-agency planning partnerships with the City of Nampa, Canyon Highway District No. 4, Ada County Highway District, City of Meridian, Nampa Municipal Airport, FHWA, and COMPASS.

Direct peers

• Canyon Highway District No. 4: One of NHD's three fellow highway districts serving Canyon County under Idaho Code Title 40, Chapter 13. Performs essentially identical functions (road maintenance, seal coats, capital projects, stormwater) within a neighboring jurisdiction, and is a current NHD partner on the Western Route Express Way and Lake Lowell bicycle/pedestrian plan.
• City of Nampa Public Works: The municipal public works department responsible for road maintenance within the City of Nampa — explicitly outside NHD's jurisdictional boundary. Performs overlapping road maintenance, construction, and stormwater functions for a neighboring urban service area and collaborates with NHD on corridor studies.
• Notus-Parma Highway District No. 2: Another of the four Canyon County highway districts with the same statutory mandate as NHD. Provides directly comparable services (road maintenance, intersection improvements, permits) and is co-participating in the Western Route Express Way planning corridor that runs through multiple highway district jurisdictions.
• Ada County Highway District (ACHD): A larger Idaho highway district serving Ada County (Boise metro) with the same statutory framework and core mandate as NHD. Offers directly comparable services (road maintenance, roundabouts, traffic studies, stormwater) and is a current NHD partner on the Airport/Overland Corridor Study and Western Route Express Way.

Broad incumbents

• Idaho Transportation Department (ITD): Idaho's state DOT, which oversees state highways and administers federal-aid programs that flow to local highway districts like NHD. Comparable in roadway construction and traffic management functions but operates at a much larger scale and broader geographic scope than NHD's single-county district.

Others

• COMPASS (Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho): The regional MPO for the Treasure Valley that coordinates long-range transportation planning across the jurisdictions NHD serves. Comparable as a strategic planning counterpart referenced by NHD (e.g., Roundabout Guide for Large Trucks & Oversize Vehicles), though it does not directly deliver road maintenance services.
