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
