PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Bridge and Road Safety and Accountability Act (1 B473) was enacted on May 3, 2017. This bill increased the tax on gasoline to
31.5 cents (from 27 cents) in fiscal years 2018 and 2019; to 32 cents in fiscal years 2020 and 2021; to 32.5 cents in fiscal year 2022;
and 33 cents in fiscal year 2023 and thereafter. A corresponding 2 cent per gallon increase (to 29.75 cents) was placed on diesel fuel
over the same fiscal years. Any of these new tax funds requested require a local 5% match ($1 for every $20 requested), and must
be used along with the matching funds for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, or repair of rural roads, city or town streets and
alleys, or bridges.
