The BIL continues the Highway Use Tax Evasion Projects program, which authorizes the Secretary to provide funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the States to carry out intergovernmental enforcement efforts along with training and research to reduce evasion of payment of motor fuel and other highway use taxes.
This document developed a step-by-step calculation guide for three forecasting methods in support of target setting for the third performance management rulemaking (PM3) travel time-based performance measures. The three forecasting methods covered in this document are: Extrapolation of past trends (macroscopic). Highway segments “at risk” for unrel
