70 percent comes from state and federal fuel taxes

…but people drive less…and cars are more efficient than ever

That’s good for the environment, bad for our transportation system

Commission Action

• Suspend Cost Share Program

• Add no new projects to 2015-19 STIP

• Cannot support projects that add to our highway system (CMAQ, Permits etc.)

Stark Reality of the Road Ahead

We are committed to a safe, reliable and prosperous transportation future…

BUT …without a solution to our growing transportation funding issue, we will not be able to accomplish what Missourians have come to expect from our state.
