- A New Zealand roadway cost allocation study that included roadway facility costs, accident and pollution externalities, concluded that cars pay 64% of their costs, trucks 56% of costs, and buses 68% of costs.34 Cost recovery was higher (87%) on state highways than on local roads (50%). Rail transport is found to recover 77% of costs.
- A study of public infrastructure by Statistic Canada found that roads and bridges made up the bulk (39.9%) of local, provincial and federal government-owned infrastructure in Canada.35 Road infrastructure per capita peaked at $3,019 in 1979 and declined to $2,511 in 2005 (in constant 1997 dollars).
- A studded tire removes ½- to ¾-ton of roadway pavement during a typical 30,000-mile operating live, imposing an estimated $8-15 per tire in direct rutting costs and $40-50 per tire if the pavement adjacent to the rutted lane is also replaced.36
- Transport Canada reports that in 2009–10, all levels of Canadian government spent $28.9 billion on roads and collected $12.1 billion in fuel taxes and $4.4 billion in other transport user fees, indicating that in Canada, road user fees cover about 64% of costs.
- Automobile user payments (fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees) cover 56% of roadway network expenditures in Wisconsin.38 Fuel taxes would need to increase approximately 35¢ per gallon to fund all current road expenses.
- Delucchi estimates the annualized costs of public roadways (provided by all levels of government) total $98-177 billion, averaging 4.5-8.0¢ per vehicle mile.39 A more recent study by the author indicates that 2005 U.S. motor vehicle tax and government fee payments fall short of government expenditures related to motor-vehicle use by between 1¢ and 3.5¢ per vehicle-mile, depending on assumptions concerning the scope of government expenditures included, while European motorists do pay approximately their government costs.40
