According to my list:

Connecticut is in the process of reverting to IP, DOT decision (58.7% metric as of 
1999).

Montana does appear to be still SI the "Still SI as of 5/30/01 was in the wrong column 
and I missed it.

Idaho is in process of reverting to IP, per DOT.

New Mexico decided to revert on July 2000, State dot decision). They were 45.0% metric 
in 1999.

Utah is the most troubling to me being 100% converted and now going back to IP.

Subject: [USMA:15011] States reversion to English


Jut got an update on States reversion (or perversion as the case may be)
back to English. I'm not sure who produced it.

States Still SI as of 5/30/01:

Alaska, California, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York,
Oregon. 

States still dual as of 5/30/01:

Delaware, Louisiana, Vermont, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico,
Washington

Seems to me these dual States are headed back to English even though they
are not officially SI.

The rest either never converted, have reverted or are in the reversion
process.  

The sad part is I counted 22 States that revered by orders of the State DOT
or their commissioner. Only three were due to "State Legislature" although
I'm sure with the others there was significant political pressure which is
not apparent in this listing. 

Four States are 100% metric based on 1999 % construction (maybe its higher
for other SI states by now.)

New Jersey (dual), Oregon (SI), New York (SI), Utah (SI but recently
announced reversion). 

Sorry the news is so grim.
