INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN

MAINTAINING EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE

Top Infrastructure Priority•80% Roadways and Bridges

Most Pressing Concern•83% Maintenance of Existing Roadways & Bridge Repair and Replacement

Transportation/Infrastructure

Today’s Landscape in Transportation


FORWARD THINKING IN 1987

• AHEAD Program• Built 1,071 miles of four lane highways

• With exception of 6 miles, program is complete

• To pay for program, A flat 18-cent Fuel Excise Tax was established


Since 1987

Consumer Price Index• In order for the excise tax on gasoline

and diesel fuel to have the same purchasing power today that it did in 1987, the excise tax would need to be increased to 37.49 cents per gallons; this would represent an increase of 19.49 cents per gallon.

• Based on inflation rate for the consumer price index of 108.3%

Transportation/Infrastructure Taskforce Meeting

Since 1987

Producer Price Index• In order for the excise tax on gasoline

and diesel fuel to have the purchasing power for road and bridge construction equivalent to that of 1987, the excise tax would need to be 57.1 cents per gallon.

• Based on the increase in the producer price index for inputs into highway and road construction of 217.1 percent%


GALLONS OF FUEL SOLD

…While Both the Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index have increased drastically, the number of taxable gallons of fuel have remained flat.


FAILING TO KEEP UP


EXAMPLE AND DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT DEMAND, CONSUMER BEHAVIOR, ETC. THIS IS FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY!

For the compounding rate over the past 12 years the rate change would be around $0.06 per gallon based on standard CPI-U. This amounts approximately to an additional $100 million for FY 14 over the actual amount.

MUNICIPAL PAVEMENT CONDITIONS

Note: 278 cites (93%) responded to the survey, accounting for 95 percent of all city-owned and maintained roads. The average miles in cites that did not report was 56, the median was 25.


COST TO ADDRESS VERY POOR ROADS10,387 County Road Miles in Very Poor Condition

$477.8 Million

2,814 Municipal Road Miles in Very Poor Condition

$129.4 Million

If roads that are listed in poor condition were added to the calculations, the total would increase drastically, as there are 13, 491 county-owned road miles in poor condition and 3.040 municipal-owned road miles in poor condition.
