Gas Tax No Longer Sustainable Funding Source• Federal and state gas taxes have been fixed

for more than two decades

40.4 cents per gallon 22 cents to state 18.4 cents to feds

Governmental Affairs (continued)

Transportation Not A General Fund Reality

• Transportation represents one of the smallest portions of the Colorado state budgetat just over 5 percent in FY2015-16.
