ROAD COMMISSION / LOCAL REVENUES The Road Commission receives revenue through the Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF) from fuel tax and vehicle registrations. This revenue is used to pay for operating and maintenance costs of the roads in Allegan County including payroll, utility costs, equipment and materials, etc.. MTF rates average $2,257.84 per mile of local road and $9,520.72 per mile of primary road. In 2012 the Road Commission’s MTF revenue was $8,233,772. Federal and State funding acquired for roads and bridges totaled $2,639,616. The Primary Millage raised $3,104,628 and township contributions added an additional $6,164,277 for primary roads (paved shoulders) and for preventative maintenance and improvements to the local road system.

ALLEGAN COUNTY MILLAGE HISTORY A one mill tax was first collected for bridge and culvert replacement on primary roads in 1968. From 1968-1982 there were 111 bridges and culverts replaced with the millage. In 1982 the millage language changed from bridge and culvert replacement to primary road resurfacing. In 2008 the language was revised again to include “preservation and preparation” along with resurfacing. 2014 is the 2 nd year in the current six year millage. The millage renewal was approved in 2012 with a change from a five year period to a six year period to allow for renewal dates to coincide with regular elections.

FINANCIAL GUIDELINES The millage revenue is split equally between six areas, each area containing four townships. About 30% of the tax collected is distributed to the cities and villages in Allegan County. The expenses and revenues for each area are carried through from year to year. This allows for larger projects resulting in lower costs through efficiency of scale. If the township agrees to pave existing gravel shoulders on the project, they are responsible for the cost of 2” of the asphalt times the width of the shoulder at the contracted unit price. The Road Commission develops a proposed plan for projects and meets with each area annually to discuss the proposal and review the previous year’s projects.
