Re: Propose Amending Distribution Formula of the County of Hawaii Fuel Tax Program
The Department of Public Works proposes amending the District Distribution Formula for the
Local Road Improvement category of the County of Hawaii Fuel Tax Program. The existing
district allocation formula equally divides the fuel tax revenues into two categories: (1) TEA
(Transportation Equity Act of 1998, formerly ISTEA, also known as TEA21) Projects and (2)
Local Road Improvement.
The Local Road Improvement category distributed funds among the tax map districts according
to each district's percent of miles of local streets. The number of miles of highway improvement
in each district have been disproportionate as there exists a higher material cost for highway
improvement projects in North and South Kona, and portions of North and South Kohala and
Ka'u.
The enclosed resolution proposes an apportionment formula to be developed by the Department
of Public Works that factors in any higher material cost for highway improvement projects.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Public Works.
