Vehicle travel on Texas highways generates revenue from state and federal taxes on highway users, such as fuel taxes, and it also creates costs in highway construction and maintenance. This study estimates the 1998 revenue contribution and cost responsibility by class of motor vehicle. If fairness requires that each class pay a share of tax revenue that equals its share of highway system costs, then the findings of the study suggest that passenger cars and pickup trucks are paying more than their fair share, and combination trucks less. The study concludes with recommendations for future research that would complement and enhance the framework developed for this study.
