Major Disruption Ahead for Transportation

• Funding• Technology• Demographics• Consumer Preferences• “Nice to Haves” becoming “Must

Haves”

Future of Transportation Funding

• Gas taxes have eroded – recent gas tax measures in states are only slowing the erosion

• VMT/road usage charges are coming – but slowly

• Non-user fees are growing – sales taxes, property taxes, general funds etc

• Financing is not the same as funding• Tolls are growing but have limited applicability –

mostly bridges and express lanes • Transit funding – federal funding critical but

growth is in local sources, value capture, local sales taxes etc
