  6. Today’s Presentation • Revenue shown is for Idaho’s entire transportation system • Totals are approximated

  7. Revenue Needs The Task Force on Modernizing Transportation Funding recommended that Idaho should increase transportation funding by $543 million annuallyfor all system needs, or by at least $262 million annually to operate, preserve, and restore the existing system. The system is suffering from: • Aging infrastructure: Much of Idaho’s infrastructure was built in the 1950s and 1960s. • Growing demand: Idaho has been one of the fastest growing states in the nation for over a decade. • Flat revenue: Idaho’s fuel tax, currently 25¢ per gallon, has not been raised since 1996. • Inflation: In inflation-adjusted value, the 25¢ fuel tax implemented in 1996is worth only 17¢ today.

  8. Real World Examples In 1996, Burley Highway District paved 10 miles of new road every year. In 2013, the Highway Districts paved just 1 mile of road.
