Summary:

NCFRP Report 15 explores taxes and fees that might be used to raise revenue to support government investment in freight transportation facilities, primarily for highway transportation. As the final product of NCFRP Project 29, New Dedicated Revenue Mechanisms for Freight Transportation Investment, this report assesses such revenue generating mechanisms as motor vehicle fuel tax surcharges, vehicle registration fees, and distance based road user fees, considering their likely effectiveness and efficiency as well as the administrative and institutional issues likely to affect their viability at a national level. The information will be useful to government policy makers and senior agency officials responsible for funding highway and other infrastructure investments to facilitate goods movement throughout the nation.
