Alternatives to motor fuel taxes for financing surface transportation improvements. Final report
The report contains recommendations, which are applicable to all levels of government, for evaluating alternatives to the motor fuel tax. An evaluation framework is presented and demonstrated. General assessments and recommendations on future expectations and trends are given. An approach that recommends a contract between transportation agencies and their customers is also suggested as an aid in generating adequate revenues. The research as documented in this report will be of interest to individuals who must deal with the identification of future revenue sources for transportation purposes, principally, highway related. All readers are directed first to the `Summary` for a general description of results; the full report, especially the applications in Chapter 3, is recommended to practitioners.
