This document presents the findings of a study of how best to allocate highway costs and to attribute highway user revenues for all levels of government combined. It includes comparisons of 1977 highway cost responsibilities and user charges for twelve vehicle classes, eight highway functional classes, and four regions. State and local highway user revenues by vehicle class were estimated based on a detailed analysis of tax rates, fees, and their applicability to each vehicle class. These revenues were then merged with estimates of Federal revenues produced by the Federal HCAS team. Highway cost responsibilities were assigned to vehicle classes using the traditional equity-based, cost-occasioned approach of attributing highway costs to the vehicle classes which cause them and assigning the remaining residual costs based on VMT. The methods parallel the Recommended Approach used in the Federal HCAS. User charges and highway cost responsibilities were then compared to determine the degree of overpayment or underpayment by each vehicle class. These comparisons indicate that passenger vehicles and light trucks generally overpay and that combination trucks generally underpay. This document also provides an analysis of marginal highway costs and a comparison of these costs with user charges.
