The average fleet mpg rating is sharply on the rise, meaning less gas tax revenue. Plus, gasoline usage is down, meaning less gas revenue.
So, the question is how much will they have to raise gas taxes to off set the revenue loss?
Plus how much will they have to raise the gas tax to pay for non toll-able roads?
Plus how much will they have to raise the gas tax to pay for your free roads?
Revenue loss? Don't you mean the speculative spending of revenues which weren't there? When I went to school, there was an adage: Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
BTW- I'd rather NOT have a TTC sprawled across Texas-period.
In this case, the revenues were there. But they won't be there in the future, so they will have to raise taxes just to replace the revenue they previously had.
