Challenges“Perfect Storm”
◦Large and aging system◦ Increasing demands◦Flattening revenue◦ Increasing construction cost inflation rate
Impact of severe weather◦ Immediate damage to infrastructure◦Deferred maintenance due to shift in operational
activities to address weather impacts◦Unquantifiable loss of useful life due to
underlying damage to infrastructure
20
Evaluation of Critical Needs
Forecast revenues will fall short of meeting needs◦Total annual shortfall of $1.6 billion◦Critical needs annual shortfall of $215 million
Impacts of critical funding shortfall◦More bridges closed or with weight restrictions◦Deteriorating conditions across the system –
including high-level roads critical to movement of goods and people
◦ Increased costs to transportation providers and users
◦Potential economic losses to the state of Iowa

Public Input Guiding Principles for Development of Recommendations
Additional revenue should have Constitutional protection
Jurisdictions should continue to become more efficient
User fee concept should be preservedIowa’s pay-as-you-go tradition should
continueFunding mechanisms should be fair and
equitableActions should be taken now but also
should begin implementing/setting the stage for long-term solutions
26
CAC Recommendations1. Increase fuel tax by eight to ten cents.2. Increase “Fee for New Registration” from five percent to six
percent.3. Iowa DOT should recommend in their legislative report a
funding mechanism for alternatively fueled, hybrid and high-fuel efficiency vehicles.
4. New funding should be distributed based on existing Code requirements.
5. Iowa DOT RUTF study should be done every two years instead of every five years.
6. Iowa DOT should meet at least annually with cities and counties to identify actions to increase efficiency.
7. Iowa DOT should study by 6/30/12 whether all vehicles and equipment using public roadways pay equitable fees.
