Highway programs derive most of their funding from user fees, which are special taxes and charges incurred by vehicle operators in relation to their use of roads. Governments dedicate most highway user fee revenue to highway spending ($85 billion out of $107 billion collected in 2004) and also devote a share to transit ($11 billion in 2004). Fuel taxes generate most highway user fee revenue (64 percent of the total in 2004); other user fee revenues are from vehicle registration fees, excise taxes on truck sales, and tolls. This study assesses the revenue-generating prospects of fuel taxes and other user fees and identifies alternatives to the present finance arrangement. Transportation officials have been concerned that the sources that provided stable and growing revenue for their programs for many decades could become unreliable in the future. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
