Book Synopsis Report of Minnesota's Mileage-Based User Fee Policy Task Force by : Lee W. Munnich
Download or read book Report of Minnesota's Mileage-Based User Fee Policy Task Force written by Lee W. Munnich and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mileage-Based User Fee (MBUF) Policy taskforce report presents the finding and recommendations of the MBUF Policy Study and the taskforce. It presents the agreed upon policy objectives and the 6 recommendations voted and adopted by the taskforce. The report also presents a minority opinion section. The MBUF Policy Study was commissioned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to identify and evaluate issues related to potential future implementation of an MBUF system in Minnesota. Under a potential MBUF system, drivers would be charged based on the number of miles they drive, regardless of the type of energy source used to propel the vehicle, instead of being charged by the gallon for fuel consumed in operating a vehicle. Over a period of approximately one year, the MBUF Project Management Team - comprised of individuals from MnDOT and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, as well as consultants - secured valuable quantitative and qualitative policy feedback, drove completion of several deliverables including development of potential MBUF business models, and staffed a Policy Task Force.

Book Synopsis State and Local Public Finance by : Ronald C. Fisher
Download or read book State and Local Public Finance written by Ronald C. Fisher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its 4th edition, State and Local Public Finance provides a comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of state and local government public finance practices and issues, using the basic tools of economics. For this new edition, there is a focus on the most important services provided in the state-local sector: education, health and welfare, public safety, and transportation. This textbook provides an examination and analysis of public finance practices and problems in a federal fiscal system, focusing on the fiscal behaviour and policies of state and local governments. The author presents detailed descriptions of significant institutions. Modern economic theory is applied to examine the way these institutions are used to produce and finance services, and to provide evaluation of alternative policies. Although the emphasis is on U.S. institutions and issues, much of the economic analysis can be applied to any federal system or to fiscal decentralization. This fully revised new edition sees updates throughout to data, topics, and applications. The Headlines and Applications sections reflect the most current policy issues affecting state and local governments. These include the effects of the Great Recession on state and local governments, changes in the tax treatment of internet purchases, the Affordable Care Act and implications for Medicaid spending by state governments, demographic changes and the implications for state-local finances, the implications of changes in automobile technology for transportation financing, and the potential for increased gambling activity. This text will continue to be invaluable reading for those who study public finance, local government finance, urban economics and public policy and public administration.
Book Synopsis Pay-as-you-drive Experiment Findings by : Jeffrey Buxbaum
Download or read book Pay-as-you-drive Experiment Findings written by Jeffrey Buxbaum and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Highway Administration and the Minnesota Department of Transportation co-sponsored a demonstration to test how consumers would change their driving behavior if some of the fixed costs of owning and operating a car were to be converted to variable costs. One hundred and thirty participants were given devices that recorded mileage and time of travel. Prices per mile were assigned randomly to each participant, ranging from 5 cents per mile to 25 cents per mile. The findings indicate that per mile pricing does result in measurable, but small reductions in driving. The largest effect is on weekend driving and on peak weekday travel (as some participants were able to substitute mass transit for their vehicle). One key finding in this experiment is that those households that are willing to change their driving behavior will do so with low per mile cost incentives. On the other hand it was also determined that those households unable to change their behavior do not do so even under relatively higher cost incentives. Therefore, the marginal effect of per mile prices seems to drop off dramatically after some point in the lower range of prices.
Book Synopsis How Cities Will Save the World by : Ray Brescia
Download or read book How Cities Will Save the World written by Ray Brescia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are frequently viewed as passive participants to state and national efforts to solve the toughest urban problems. But the evidence suggests otherwise. Cities are actively devising innovative policy solutions and they have the potential to do even more. In this volume, the authors examine current threats to communities across the U.S. and the globe. They draw on first-hand experience with, and accounts of, the crises already precipitated by climate change, population shifts, and economic inequality. This volume is distinguished, however, by its central objective of traveling beyond a description of problems and a discussion of their serious implications. Each of the thirteen chapters frame specific recommendations and guidance on the range of core capacities and interventions that 21st Century cities would be prudent to consider in mapping their immediate and future responses to these critical problems. How Cities Will Save the World brings together authors with frontline experience in the fields of city redevelopment, urban infrastructure, healthcare, planning, immigration, historic preservation, and local government administration. They not only offer their ground level view of threats caused by climate change, population shifts, and economic inequality, but they provide solution-driven narratives identifying promising innovations to help cities tackle this century’s greatest adversities.

Book Synopsis Mileage-based User Fee Demonstration Project by : Jeffrey Buxbaum
Download or read book Mileage-based User Fee Demonstration Project written by Jeffrey Buxbaum and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Highway Administration and the Minnesota Department of Transportation co-sponsored a demonstration to test how consumers would change their driving behavior if some of the fixed costs of owning and operating a car were to be converted to variable costs. A survey of Twin Cities Area residents probed interest in pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) concepts for leasing and insurance. While 25% of respondents indicated some interest in the concept of PAYD, interest dropped to 18% when given explicit choices. Respondents were most attracted to the concept of paying only for the miles they drive. Reasons cited for the lack of interest were the uncertainty of monthly costs, privacy concerns, and a dislike of leases in general. Most respondents believe the "fair" price per mile for the representative PAYD lease program they were presented was considerably less than the amount that reflected the actual cost of the miles. These findings indicate that PAYD products have appeal to a small, but not insignificant portion, of the population, and that PAYD programs will be most effective when they are designed to focus on specific sub-samples of the overall population.
Book Synopsis Connected Vehicles for Safety, Mobility, and User Fee Implementation by : Ben Pierce
Download or read book Connected Vehicles for Safety, Mobility, and User Fee Implementation written by Ben Pierce and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007 Minnesota legislature approved a 5,000,000 project in order to demonstrate technologies which will allow for the future replacement of the gas tax with a fuel-neutral mileage charge. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) organized a study to examine the implementation and operation of a mileage based user fee program (MBUF), which might allow for the supplementation or replacement of traditional gas taxes. The primary objectives of the study were to: assess the feasibility of using consumer devices for implementing Connected Vehicle and MBUF applications. These applications included localized in-vehicle signing for improving safety, especially for rural areas, and the demonstration of the proposed Connected Vehicle approach for providing location-specific traveler information and collecting vehicle probe data. The study consisted of 500 voluntary participants, equipped with an in-vehicle system comprised of entirely commercially available components, primarily a smartphone using an application capable of tracking participant vehicle trips. Successfully meeting its primary objectives, the system was capable of assigning variable mileage fees determined by user location or time of day, as well as presenting in-vehicle safety notifications which had measureable effect on the participants driving habits. MnDOT contracted the company Battelle to develop and field the systems in this study. This document is the final report from Battelle, providing details for the development of the project systems, as well as the organization and operation of the participant study.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of funding surface transportation infrastructure through fees charged on miles driven has been receiving growing attention from transportation professionals and researchers in recent years. Highway funding in the United States has traditionally been done through user fees, most notably motor vehicle fuel taxes. However, there are growing concerns among some policymakers that fuel taxes are no longer adequate, sustainable, efficient, or equitable. Entities in the United States and abroad have conducted pilot projects or implemented mileage-based fees, including several specifically designed for heavy trucks. There are two major concerns related to truck travel: (1) heavy trucks consume a great deal of roadway capacity due to their size, operating characteristics, and annual miles traveled; and (2) roadway wear and tear caused by the combination of truck mileage and heavy loads is significant and disproportionate to the number of trucks on the road. The concept of mileage-based user fees has seen increasing support from a number of groups in recent years; however, it faces opposition from many in the general public and from the trucking industry. This paper is part of a larger effort exploring the benefits to the freight industry of mileage-based user fees, while highlighting industry concerns over its implementation.
Book Synopsis Congestion Pricing in Traffic Control by : Marco D. Sheehan
Download or read book Congestion Pricing in Traffic Control written by Marco D. Sheehan and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congestion costs highway users billions of dollars every year. Although policymakers have adopted a variety of strategies for reducing or mitigating congestion, relatively little attention has been paid to policies to promote more efficient use of the highway system. One such policy is congestion pricing, under which drivers are charged a higher price for use of a highway at times or places with heavy traffic and a lower price in the opposite circumstances. This book explains how congestion pricing works, reviews the best available evidence on projects that make use of such pricing in order to assess the benefits and challenges of the approach, and discusses federal policy options for encouraging congestion pricing. Congestion pricing also can be linked to strategies to improve mobility by making alternatives to the private automobile, such as subways, buses or commuter rail service, more attractive during peak periods. The revenues generated by such pricing have sometimes been used to pay for improvements in public transportation systems. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.
