Five Working Groups

  • Revenue and standardization
  • Physical infrastructure and safety
  • Ports and inland waters
  • Technology
  • Public policy
slide-15
SLIDE 15

Revenues and Standardization Working Group

  • Consider indexing the fuel tax to CPI, CAFE, Highway

Construction Cost Index, or an combination of two

  • r more
  • City/County split of fuel tax
  • Currently no consensus from cities and counties
  • Collection standardization
  • DOR is working to gather data

Ports and Inland Waterways Working Group

  • The Legislature establish a grant program at a minimum of

$10 million annually for the State’s waterway ports, both public and private to fund the development and improvement of port and waterway facilities

  • Eligible projects must have a benefit-to-cost ratio greater

than one, and generate a rate of return to the State of at least 2 percent

  • Grant recipient is responsible for funding, as a minimum, 10

percent of the project cost

  • Program administered by the Alabama State Port Authority
  • An Advisory Board be appointed that has a majority of its

representation made up of primarily representatives of the ports to provide recommendations to the grant administrator

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Public Policy Working Group

  • Five alternate scenarios
  • Business as usual (current spending trend)
  • Preserve the current system (maintenance)
  • Keep it from getting worse (performance and maintenance)
  • Middle of the pack in southeast
  • Best in the southeast
  • For each scenario
  • What would it cost?
  • What would we get?
  • The cost of doing nothing
  • Greater transparency and accountability
