Roads vs. AT&TAverage driver logs 12,000 miles per year @ 24 mpg

Average driver uses 500 gallons per year

In Hillsborough County they pay $0.50 per gallon

Average Driver pays $250/yr or just over $20 a month

The argument goes that an extra $0.05/gal or $2/month would anger the electorate

How much gets to the road?

Page 23: Chris Evers 727-638-1699 Let’s fix funding!. Let’s Fix Funding! “It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.” “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

How much gets to the road?• Statewide we really don’t know• When I looked for the answer I found that the figures were too broad

to be sure• We don’t do a very good job of tracking expenditures• What I did find was this:

– Many agencies seem to have trouble funneling money down to the project level– Some agencies have depended on fuel taxes to fund operations (Statutory intent

ignored?)– The amount of asphalt use in the State has dropped dramatically (easiest way to

track since 97% of roads are asphalt) about 40% drop since 2006– Disconnect between statutory intent and practice– Huge unfunded needs that could be met with shift in either policy or attitudinal

shift, both– Many of the non-transportation budget items actually are dependent on quality

and safe infrastructure

How do we fix it and when?

The answer should be now• Gas prices have dropped significantly in the

last year• Even in DC attitudes towards increasing the

gas tax have softened• Is indexing looked at the same as raising taxes?

It shouldn’t be!• We may have a window to act but need to come

up with a game plan• What I did find was this:

– What’s good for the goose? State fuel taxes are indexed while Federal and Local are not

– Statutes could be more clear and have more teeth– Political Engineering will be required to increase

local fuel taxes

Revenue Stream Challenge:The Future of Fuel Tax

Various market pressures are driving up average vehicular fuel efficiencies

Alternative fuels are exempt from fuel taxes (CNG)

Corporate fuel economy standards for new cars will increase from 35.5 MPG in 2016 to 54.5 MPG in 2025

The average driver will pay less for use of the roadway network in the future Fuel taxes paid decrease as fuel efficiency increases

The fuel tax will become a less sustainable and less equitable fee for road use

Politics – Funding in Florida• Out of 67 Counties only 22 have zero unutilized

County-Imposed gas tax

• Using Hillsborough as an example with 3,318 centerline miles (7,700 lane miles) of paved road their $3M resurfacing budget puts them on a 148 year paving cycle

• That additional 5¢ would generate nearly $30M per year which would wipe out their funding shortfall

• Madison County has 242 centerline miles, industry standard is 20 year paving cycle meaning Madison County should be paving at least 12 miles per year expending $1,815,000

• Instead the County was operating with a 61 year paving cycle

Page 40: Chris Evers 727-638-1699 Let’s fix funding!. Let’s Fix Funding! “It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.” “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

• Madison County purchases a piece of equipment costing $46,851,200– This piece of equipment is vital to all

economic activity in the County– Other tax revenue would not exist without

this equipment– Not investing in upkeep costs every taxpayer

in the County (19,115) since every single taxpayer uses it

– If we let this piece of equipment completely deteriorate it, a new one could cost us as much as 10 times what we paid for it

Communicating with Stakeholders

Page 41: Chris Evers 727-638-1699 Let’s fix funding!. Let’s Fix Funding! “It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.” “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

Communicating with Stakeholders

Important to use everyday examples, analogies

Preventative Medicine is the model we want to shoot for

In infrastructure, the longer we wait the bigger the bill

When you brush your teeth, do you brush only the worst teeth

Why then would we only address the worst roads

Page 42: Chris Evers 727-638-1699 Let’s fix funding!. Let’s Fix Funding! “It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.” “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

What can we do?

• Admit we have a problem and define it– As an industry and a community we should discuss the

issue and begin to mobilize

• Engage elected officials and taxpayers– Continue the education process any way possible whether

that means engaging with legislators, writing editorials or having these panels

• Find partners and champions– We all know folks who can help, private trade organizations

who benefit from added spending (FES, FICE, FTBA, ASCE) other public works organizations (APWA, FACERS)

Page 43: Chris Evers 727-638-1699 Let’s fix funding!. Let’s Fix Funding! “It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.” “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

What can we do?• Some fixes exist at the County level and will benefit the Cities

within the County– Let’s get all of the PWD’s together and game plan how to get the

unutilized gas tax money utilized

• Statutory fixes may also be required– Work with Tallahassee to index the fuel taxes that are distributed to

local governments

• Educate decision makers on the impact ill advised policy has on our roadway health– What are Counties waiting for relating to unimposed?– Are local agencies allocating fuel tax funding to operations? Hint: (not

supposed to!) – Does management know that not maxing out fuel taxes could cost

matching funds from FDOT?

So what harm comes of asking? They might say yes…

Page 45: Chris Evers 727-638-1699 Let’s fix funding!. Let’s Fix Funding! “It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.” “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

But haven’t we failed before?• We’ve tried some of these approaches

before so how do we succeed this time? • We change the conversation, use our

recess voice and explain the true scope of the problem

• We recruit a champion before hand• Get creative with presenting our material
