PROJECTED FUEL TAX REVENUE INCREASE Effective starting July 1, 2018 the County fuel tax rate increases from 15 cents per gallon to 19 cents per gallon. For fiscal year 2018-2019, the County of Hawaii expects to collect approximately $17,152,903, an increase of$4,660,817 over fiscal year 2017- 2018, assuming consumption remains at current stable levels. However, it is yet to be seen how the lava disaster will impact consumption. It is possible that consumption will be lower than forecasted, reducing fuel tax revenue. UTILIZATION OF THE FUNDS The Utilization of funds will be mainly focused on: providing resources for the emergency fund, investing in road repaving material and equipment, flood control, tree trimming and other road maintenance, the upgrading of traffic signals and striping for roadway projects, school safety projects, and mass transit. The table below shows the projected utilization of the increase in Fuel Tax Revenue: Fuel Tax Increase Revenue Utilization Emergency Fund $ 1,000,000 Road Paving $ 1,000,000 Mass Transit $ 1,000,000 Roads in Limbo $ 250,000 Signal Upgrades $ 750,000 Striping for Roadway Projects $ 450,000 Equipment and Materials $ 210,817 $ 4,660,817 Comm.
