Abstract:In fiscal year 1998, Texas spent $2.8 billion on the state-maintained road network, which includes the Interstate highways. This project estimates the contribution to these costs of different vehicle classes. Alternative methods of breaking down ('allocating") the total expenditures between vehicle classes are implemented for comparison. The project also estimates a breakdown between vehicles classes of 1998 revenues from taxes and government charges on Texas road users; of these revenue sources, fuel taxes were the most importat. The findings suggest that buses and combination trucks pay shares of revenue that fall well short of their shares of highway system costs.
