In recent years, costs of highway facilities have generally been considered to be the responsibility of highway users. Although the private sector has recently been called upon to assume more cost responsibility, highways are primarily financed from tax revenues and user tolls. A continuing task related to the assessment of highway user fees is the determination of the appropriate level of taxation for each class of highway uses. Cost allocation in various forms has traditionally been a tool to achieve an equitable assignment of user responsibility. This highway cost allocation study is the ninth in a recent series that began in the early 1980s by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Kentucky Transportation Center (formerly the Kentucky Transportation Research Program). The primary objective of the study is to determine the level of revenue contribution and cost responsibility for each class of highway users.
