National studies have concluded that future petroleum-based gas taxes are not likely going to be sufficient to meet the needs of state transportation programs. What will happen to annual transportation revenues in Georgia over the next 30 years if the Motor Fuel Tax is not replaced? How do these revenue streams change if many of the strategies proposed under demand management, clean air, land use and transportation planning to reduce VMT are successful? This study will examine key trends in Georgia, declining VMT, increasing gas mileage, denser land use, and travel demand management strategies, that will cumulatively act to reduce the level of funding generated from the motor vehicle tax. The study will quantify the likely impacts and identify alternative funding sources.
