Based on survey data from state DOT personnel and other transportation stakeholders, this report offers a comprehensive, up-to-date reference on how 50 states and the District of Columbia provide and pay for their transportation systems.
The report details all transportation funding sources and finance tools that are now in use for every mode, in every state. An update to the previous 2011 and 2016 reports, this third edition of the report integrates survey respondents’ lessons learned and on-the-ground experiences.
The report also includes new topics of interest, such as emerging jurisdictional issues for state DOTs, state entities with a less direct role in transportation issues, state actions to optimize available funding and increase local flexibility, and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on state transportation governance and finance. It also includes the current rates of each state’s fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees.
