The current county gas tax formula (the “ ” formula) has been in effect with only minor revisions since The final report to the Legislature in 1954 discussed the formula and how it addresses “needs”. The final report evaluated various combinations of the needs and concluded that the “ ” was the most equitable allocation of funds. There are four factors used in the calculations: Equal Distribution (10%) Equivalent Population (30%) Annual Road Costs (30%) Annual “Money” Needs (30%)
EQUAL 10% COST 30% EQUIVALENT POPULATION 30% NEEDS 30% 1/39 TO EACH COUNTY EQUIVALENTPOPULATION ANNUALROADCOST* ANNUAL NEEDS Unincorporated Population + 25% Incorporated Population Annual Maintenance Cost + 1/25 Replacement Cost Annual Road Cost - Actual County Road Levy Amount + Federal Forest Funds + State Timber Excise Tax + Island Counties Refund * Includes all roads, bridges, ferries
#1 Equal Distribution Factor (10%) This is reflected in the “equal” portion. This category addresses needs that are independent of road use, road miles, or financial ability. This factor addresses the minimum fixed costs of “doing business”. 10% divided by 39 Counties =.2564%
#2 Equivalent Population Factor (30%) The best indicator of road use is the number of vehicle miles traveled. Sufficient and accurate traffic counts for all roads are not available, nor are they likely to be. The original basis for this information was “registered motor vehicles”. Since 1982, “equivalent population” is used for this portion of the formula.

#3 Annual Road Cost Factor (30%) The greater the number of road miles, the more it costs to construct and maintain the roads. The original formula based this on “trunk miles”, which were school bus and mail routes. Since 1982, the formula uses all road miles, divided into categories, with costs for each category, plus bridges.
