Transportation Funding Advisory Commission (TFAC) Final Report
Posted on | September 19, 2011 |
On April 21, 2011, Pennsylvania’s Governor Tom Corbett signed an Executive Order to create the Transportation Funding Advisory Commission (TFAC). The purpose of TFAC is to develop a comprehensive, strategic proposal for addressing the transportation funding needs of Pennsylvania. Per the Executive Order, the Advisory Commission released its final report of recommendations on August 1, 2011.
The report notes that “in 2010, the Pennsylvania State Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) produced a report that quantified the state’s unfunded transportation needs at approximately $3.5 billion. The gap is growing and will reach an estimated $7.2 billion in 10 years if we do not take action to address the transportation need. The gap is growing because of continued decline in fuel tax revenue due to vehicle efficiency, reduced buying power due to inflation, and increasing costs of the PA State Police consuming a bigger slice of the Motor License Fund.”
