5 It s All About The Bucks

6 Keep Placer Moving Did You Know? The state and federal gas tax supply less than half the funding needed to maintain current roads, with no money for new capacity. Federal/state transportation dollars are declining and often contingent on a local funding match and strings. Developer fees are maxed out and cannot pay for existing problems. Placer County is one of the largest counties in the state with no local transportation funding.

7 Transportation Funding Strategy Keep the money we ve already got Leverage future State/Federal funding Additional developer impact fees High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes Toll Roads Transportation sales tax Legislative changes to increase funding flexibility

8 Keep Placer Moving Did You Know? $ 1.25 billion Projected Funding Available Funding Outlook $1.75 billion Deficit $ 3.0 billion Need Possible Way To Bridge the Funding Gap $ 1.25 billion Local Transportation Sales Tax + $ 0.5 billion of Increased Eligibility for Matching Funds
