Federal Gas Tax = 18.4 cents per gallon (since 1993)8b

State Gas Tax = 25 cents per gallon (since 2001)8c

Gross Receipts Tax = 8.1% of wholesale price (adjusted in 2013 with assessment capped at $3.00) 8c

Federal Diesel Tax = 24.4 cents per gallon (since 1993)8b

State Diesel Tax = 50.3 cents per gallon (7/1/15-6/30/16)8c

Federal fuel efficiency standards, along with consumer demand for more fuel efficient vehicles, are resulting in a more fuel efficient fleet. While this trend improves our nation’s energy security, saves consumers money at the pump, and reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the increased fuel efficiency decreases gas sales and therefore reduces motor fuel taxes collected.

Over the last several years, Connecticut has received almost twice as much Federal funds than it contributed in motor fuel and other tax payments to the HTF. However, due to the insolvency of the HTF, today, most (if not all) states receive more apportionment funding from the HTF than they contribute in tax payments to the HTF. Since 2008, in the absence of a sustainable revenue source for the HTF, Congress has approved transfers of almost $60 Billion from other funds to the HTF to keep it afloat.

More than 60% of Connecticut’s Special Transportation Fund (STF) revenue comes from State motor fuel and oil company taxes. While oil prices fluctuated up and down over the last several years, motor fuel taxes remained relatively flat.

Notes: If indexed to inflation, in 2015, the federal gas tax would be about 30 cents per gallon, the federal diesel tax would be about 40 cents per gallon, and the State gas tax would be about 34 cents per gallon. The State diesel tax is assessed annually to reflect wholesale fuel trends. State diesel tax from 7/1/14-6/30/15 was 54.5 cents per gallon.

Pavement Condition Index (PCI)

Pavement

The PCI attempts to categorize the overall condition of a section of pavement based on environmental and structural distresses. Pavement Condition is calculated based on five components: cracking, rideability (as expressed by the International Roughness Index/IRI), rutting (distortion in the wheelpaths), raveling, and drainability.

HiGHway sysTem

CLASSIFICATION RATING DESCRIPTION

EXCELLENT 8 - 9

Exhibits zero to minimal quantities of the measured distresses and low distress severities. Tends to be recently paved and does not require a project to improve the condition.

GOOD 6 - <8

Exhibits minimal quantities of the measured distresses and low to moderate distress severities. Requires a pavement preservation project to maintain or improve the condition and delay a costlier project.

FAIR 4 - <6

Exhibits moderate to large quantities of the measured distresses and a range of distress severities. Tends to be beyond the scope of a preservation project and requires a pavement rehabilitation project to improve the condition when the PCI values are at the lower end of this range.

POOR <4

Exhibits large quantities of the measured distresses and high distress severities, in particular structural failures. Beyond the scope of a preservation project and requires a major rehabilitation or pavement construction project to improve the conditon.

Bridge InspectionsAll bridges having spans greater than 20 feet, whether state or town-maintained, are included in the National Bridge Inventory (NBI). Federal law requires all states to inspect roadway bridges greater than 20 feet every two years. However, structures that are in poor condition can be inspected as frequently as every month. CTDOT reports on the condition of the NBI to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on an annual basis.

CTDOT also collects “Element Level” bridge inspection data that is now included with the annual report to FHWA. Element level data provides quantities of varying condition states. This information will be used to improve deterioration modeling and planning of preservation/rehabilitation work.

The three major components (deck, superstructure, and substructure) are comprised of a number of elements. Each major component is evaluated based on an aggregate of its elements and then assigned a numerical rating from zero to nine. The lowest rating among the three main components becomes the bridge’s overall rating.

2 Critical

Advanced deterioration of primary structural elements. Fatigue cracks in steel or shear cracks in concrete may be present or scour may have removed substructure support. Unless closely monitored it may be necessary to close the bridge until corrective action is taken.

1 “Imminent” Failure

Major deterioration or section loss present in critical structural components or obvious vertical or horizontal movement affecting structure stability. Bridge is closed to traffic, but corrective action may put back in light service.

0 Failed Out of service, beyond corrective action.

The State of Connecticut has almost 2,000 miles of recreational trails. The most recently approved state budget includes the creation of new funding programs for trail gap closures and trail maintenance. These new programs will provide continued funding for the strategic infill of the State’s prioritized trail network, including the spine of the East Coast Greenway and major regional trail systems. The programs will also help address a longstanding issue of deferred trail maintenance.

Safe Routes To School (SRTS)The SRTS Program was initiated under SAFETEA-LU in 2005 to encourage walking and biking to school for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Every year, additional schools throughout the State become active on the front of safe travel for students. Schools that do not coordinate with CTDOT directly often still utilize SRTS resources.

The Connecticut SRTS team provided direct assistance to 43 schools throughout the State, including safety education, development of local SRTS programs, and promotional items.

In addition to the Walk to School event in October, there was a Bike to School event in May in which 10 schools actively coordinated with the SRTS team.

1 regional workshop was hosted to train local partners.

13 public events were attended by the team.

Community Connectivity ProgramThe most recently approved state budget includes the creation of a new funding program for urban bike/ped connectivity designed to make urban centers more bikeable, walkable, safe, livable, and prosperous. This program will help pay for various improvements such as the construction of sidewalks, crossings, intersection improvements, ADA accommodations, bike lanes, sharrows, parking and wayfinding, etc.

Deep Water PortsRecent legislation enabled Connecticut to establish a statewide port authority as early as October 1, 2015. The goal of the Port Authority will be to increase public and private investments for port development, pursue federal and state money for dredging in order to increase cargo movements through Connecticut’s ports, and market the ports to domestic and international shipping companies.

Port of New Haven48a

The Port of New Haven is located on New Haven Harbor at the junction of I-95 and I-91. The port is served by freight rail and several of its terminals are connected to an extensive pipeline network. Freight rail service to the port is provided by the Providence & Worcester Railroad with connections to nine additional rail lines. The port is comprised of a cluster of privately owned terminals such as Gateway, Gulf, Magellan Midstream Partners, Motiva, R&H, and New Haven Terminal. All of the terminals handle liquid bulk cargo (petroleum, asphalt). Two of the terminals handle dry cargo, bulk (cement, sand, stone and salt); break bulk products such as steel and lumber; as well as project cargo.

Port of Bridgeport48a

The Port of Bridgeport located off of I-95, is on the north shore of Long Island Sound. The majority of commercial waterfront facilities in Bridgeport are privately owned and operated, although the Bridgeport Port Authority owns the Bridgeport Regional Maritime Complex (BRMC). Other major commercial facilities include the PSE&G power plant, the former CILCO Terminal and Motiva (Shell) fuel terminal. The port mostly accommodates liquid bulk petroleum products, coal, and general cargo. Without maintenance dredging, the channel’s actual controlling depth has dropped to less than its authorized depth.
