Jack Basso American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Business Meeting of the AASHTO Standing Committee on Finance and Administration August 10, 2011 FEDERAL SURFACE TRANSPORTAITON AUTHORIZATION AND FUNDING

Discussion Topics America at a crossroads in transportation The current climate o The Federal budget and revenue is a driving force in future decisions on transportation funding o The Congress of the U.S. undergone a sea change o The financial backbone of the Federal highway and transit programs is in critical condition Key questions affecting funding: What is the Federal government’s role going to be in the future? How will the Federal government best generate the required revenue for investment?

The Current Climate: Discussing the Issues

The Current Climate The latest news: Currently the Federal Highway and Transit programs are operating on a short-term extension The Administration has outlined a long-term reauthorization proposal with the budget release in February 2011 However, they have no revenue options identified The Highway Trust Fund has required Federal General Fund supplements There is no support for increasing user fees (gas tax)

Where We Are Now Congress acted to keep the Trust Fund Solvent o September 2008: $8.017 billion General Fund transfer to the Highway Trust Fund o August 2009: $7 billion General Fund transfer to the Highway Trust Fund o September 30, 2009: SAFETEA-LU expired o March 1, 2010: Highway Trust Fund shutdown for two days o March 18, 2010: $19.5 billion in foregone interest payments credited to the Highway Trust Fund o December 31, 2010: Current SAFETEA-LU extension expires o Fiscal Year 2012: Highway Trust Fund projected to become insolvent

ActualEstimated

Future Revenue Collection The current U.S system relies on fuel taxes We have seen a marked decline in revenues Two National Commissions have called for short and long-term solutions VMT collection systems have come to the forefront of options to consider

Legislative Principles Maintain the current federal and state shares for highway and transit capital programs. Eliminate or drastically limit earmarking in federal transportation programs. Develop policies that support maximum flexibility to allow for use of both conventional and innovative funding and financing tools.

Summary Considerations We are at a crossroad Congress and the Administration face difficult choices State and local governments will be affected by funding choices The nation will either benefit from our actions, or be changed in negative ways The future is really now
