1 Transportation Financing: What is the Future of Road Funding? North Dakota Association of Counties Annual Conference & Expo October 10, 2017

2 Why Should Farmers Care About Transportation? Because our international competitiveness depends on it. Costs of transporting soybeans: U.S. vs. Brazil (per metric ton; 4 th quarter, 2016) Davenport to Shanghai Fargo to Shanghai N. Mato Grosso to Shanghai Truck - $10.58 Truck - $10.58 Truck - $60.57 Barge - $23.63 Rail - $ Ocean - $32.60 Ocean - $17.51 Ocean $20.00 Total Trans - $66.81 Total Trans - $82.41 Total Trans - $80.57 Farm Value - $ Farm Value - $ Farm Value - $ Customer Cost - $ Customer Cost - $ Customer Cost - $ T. as % of Cust. Cost 16.23% T. as % of Cust. Cost 20.01% T. as % of Cust. Cost 18.95% Source: USDA

3 U.S. is the most sustainable, cost effective, & reliable supplier Fuel Efficiency of Moving One Ton of Freight with One Gallon of Fuel (Miles) Barge 647 Railroad 477 Truck Source: Texas Transportation Institute Cargo capacity (soybeans): Barge vs. Railroad vs. Truck One Barge: 52,500 57,000 bushels (1,400 1,550 MT) One 15 barge tow: 787, ,000 bushels (21,400 23,200 MT) One rail hopper car: 3,500 4,000 bushels ( MT) 100 car unit train: 350, ,000 bushels (9,500 11,000 MT) One semi truck: 910 bushels (25 MT)

4 The Soy Transportation Coalition Farmer funded & farmer led Established in Comprised of 13 state soybean organizations, the United Soybean Board, American Soybean Association. MICHIGAN SOYBEAN PROMOTION COMMITTEE

5 States are stepping up to meet funding challenge Since 2013, 26 states & District of Columbia have enacted legislation to increase state fuel taxes Indiana (2017): One-time gas tax increase of 10 cents per gallon & indexes the tax to inflation. Increases vehicle registration fees by $15 & establishes a new $150 fee for electric vehicles & a $50 fee for hybrid vehicles. Establishes a framework for implementing tolls on certain highways at the governor s discretion. Montana (2017): Increases the state gas tax by 6 cents per gallon incrementally through 2023 & the diesel tax by 2 cents per gallon over the same timeframe. Tennessee (2017): Increases the state gas tax by 6 cents per gallon incrementally over the next three years & the state diesel tax by 10 cents per gallon over the same timeframe. The bill increases vehicle registration fees by $5 & establishes a new electric vehicle fee of $100. Iowa (2015): Increased the state excise tax on gasoline, diesel & alternative motor fuels by 10 cents per gallon. Increased the excise tax on aviation fuel by 2 cents per gallon. Increased fees for excess size and weight permits. Michigan (2015): Increased the state motor fuel tax on gasoline by 7.3 cents per gallon & the motor fuel tax on diesel by 11.3 cents. Beginning on January 1, 2022, both motor fuel taxes will be indexed to inflation. Nebraska (2015): Vetoed by the governor & subsequently overturned by the legislature. Increased the portion of the tax allocated to the state by ½ cent per year & increased the portion allocated to cities and counties by 1 cent per year. The current total gas tax of 10.3 cents per gallon will increase to 16.3 cents by South Dakota (2015): Increased the tax on motor fuels by 6 cents per gallon to 28 cents. Increased certain license plate fees & adjusts the excise tax on special fuels. Source: National Conference of State Legislatures

6 Gasoline Taxes by State

7 U.S. Average Fuel Taxes (per gallon) Gasoline Diesel State Excise Tax: Other State Taxes/Fees: Total State Taxes/Fees: Federal Fuel Tax: Total Fuel Tax Assuming an average of 12,000 miles driven each year & 23.6 mpg fuel efficiency, the average American will purchase 508 gallons of gasoline & pay $256 per year in fuel taxes. Americans, on average, spend $600 per year for mobile phone service & $840 per year for cable/digital TV.

8 Moving Forward Congress should pass at least a 10 cent increase in the federal gasoline & diesel tax & index to inflation (Consumer Price Index); States should continue to ensure reliable, sustainable funding If the federal government had indexed the diesel tax & the gasoline tax to inflation in 1997 the year in which they were most recently increased an additional $ billion would have been generated for the country s surface transportation system. Additional revenue of $6.177 billion per year would be generated by If North Dakota had indexed the gasoline & diesel tax to inflation in 2005 the year in which they were most recently increased an additional $146 million would have been generated for the state s surface transportation system; Indexing the fuel tax rate to inflation in North Dakota in 2014 would result in an average additional revenue per year of $12.3 million between 2014 & 2025 (additional state revenue of $31.2 million in 2025 alone). Public less opposed to providing funding; more opposed to wasteful spending; Essential to structure the proposal as providing a tangible benefit in exchange for a tangible cost. Importance of getting support from those who will pay & benefit (agriculture, manufacturing, etc.). Cannot solely rely upon counties, municipalities, etc. ( We want more of your money. vs. We are willing to provide more of our money. )
