Abstract:

Motor fuel tax revenue currently supplies the majority of funding for ; transportation agencies at the state and federal level. Georgia uses excise and sales taxes ; to generate revenue for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). Inflation and ; increases in vehicle fuel efficiency have reduced the effectiveness of these taxes in recent ; years. These changes have resulted in drivers purchasing less fuel and generating less ; fuel tax revenue, which weakens GDOT’s ability to maintain Georgia’s transportation ; assets. This thesis uses literature from regional and state agencies, academic reports, and ; databases to identify factors that affect motor fuel tax revenue and then creates a model to ; predict Georgia’s fuel tax receipts in 2020 and 2030. It also discusses and evaluates other ; transportation funding mechanisms that could replace or supplement the fuels tax and ; recommends how best to implement these strategies.
