TRANSPORTATION AND AVIATION COMMITTEE
E. Frank Richardson, Chairman
January 8, 1974
The Honorable William G. Milliken
Executive Office
State Capital Building
Lansing, Michigan
Dear Sir:
The absence of adequate public transportation systems in Michigan leaves the motor vehicle
as the primary and essential mode of personal and commercial transportation for the near-term future.
In spite of the energy crisis and resultino curtailment of travel, I am sure you agree that the need
remains for providing and maintaining adequate road facilities,
Like_ most other areas of economic activity, the functions of road construction and maintenance
in our state face significant cutbacks as a direct result of the gasoline shortage. This cutback will
reflect and be caused by shortfalls ir the anticipated level of - the. Motor Vehicle Highway Fund which
relies importantly on gasoline tax collections and which is the priaary source of road funds for the
state and its component political subdivisions.
Because of curtailed supplies of gasoline, the dollar amount of gasoline tax collections in
1974 promises to be substantially less than had been estimated. It is our understanding that original
projections of gasoline tax collections for 1974 were predicated on assumed sales volume. of 4.!v-hi1lion
patlons. That projected sales volume has now been adjusted downward to 3.94-billion gallons in the face
cf the gasoline shortage.
Accordingly, the Vehicle Highway Fund stands to collect $53,280,000 less in gasoline tax
revenue than had been projected prior to the energy crisis. This dollar loss will be felt across the
board in road building and maintenance -- by the Michigan Department of State, Highways and Transportation,
by the cities and villages, and, of course, by the 0 county road commissions. The Oakland County Road
Commission, alone, will lose an estimated $1,864,C00 as a direct - consequence of the energy cries, Road
commissions of the smaller counties will lose an even larger percentage of their anticipated revenue,
The purpose of this letter is to propose for your consideration -- and that of the legislature
-- an equitable means of partially offsetting the. loss of read funds stemming from the energy crisis,
Let us consider the sales tax on gasoline. Had gasoline pump prices remained at the level
of 35 --39 per gallon throu0 1974„ gasoline sales would have generated approximately $39,450,000 in
sales tax receipts. An average 1974 pump price average as high as 65c now seems likely, however, in
light of recent price increases approved by the Federal government and predictions coming from Federal
officials.
At an average price of 65 a gallon, 1974 gasoline sales of 3,94-billion gallons would yield
sales tax collections of $78,900,000. Half of that amount, $39,450,000, could properly be regarded as
a windfall arising solely from scarcity-generated retail price increases. By constitutional provision,
the School Aid Fund would reap benefits of $19,725,000 from this windfall, and an additional $4,937,250
would go to municipalities. The remainder would enrich the State General Fund,
I do not propose that funds constitutionally earmarked for schools and municipalities be
disturbed, I do, however, propose a partial offset of the shortfall in funds for road purposes through
appropriation by the legislature of all sales tax collected on gasoline sales -- excluding the portions
earmarked for schools and municipalities -- to the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund for the duration of the
energy crisis, to be distributed as the Fund is currently distributed.
The effect would be to recapture for road purposes just over half of the anticipated funding
that will be lost because of the energy crisis, in dollars, this proposal would restore approximately
$27,616,000 of the shortfall of $53,280,000 in the Highway Fund.
In the case of Oakland County Road Commission, the proposal would restore only about $963,525
of our anticipated shortfall of $1,864,000. Road commissions in the smaller counties would fare
proportionately better, compared with their 1973 receipts from the Vehicle Highway Fund. Similarly,
cities and villages would also find their road fund losses partially offset,
respectfully urge your earnest consideration of this proposal,
Additional/y, I propose that you consider establishing a representative task force to review
