As mentioned above, the Highway Revenue Act of 1982 created the Mass Transit Account within the HTF. EffectiveApril 1983, the act provided one cent per gallon of the federal excise tax on gasoline sales to be set-aside for theMass Transit Account to help finance transit capital projects. The rate was increased to 1.5 cents per gallon onDecember 1, 1990; to 2 cents per gallon on January 1, 1996; and to 2.86 cents per gallon on October 1, 1997(FHWA, 1999). Although highway users pay these taxes, the funds are treated as federal transit revenues.State and local transit revenues include revenues from operations of public mass transportation systems (rapidtransit, subway, bus, railway, and commuter rail services), such as fares, charter fees, advertising income, and otheroperations revenues. They exclude subsidies from other governments to support either operations or capital projects.Air RevenuesThe Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, as amended by Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Acts of 1990and 1993, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, and the Taxpayers Relief Act of 1997, provides for thetransfer of receipts received in the U.S. Treasury from the passenger ticket tax and certain other taxes paid by airportand airway users to the Airport and Airways Trust Fund (AATF). Effective October 1, 1997, the Taxpayers Relief Actof 1997 extends aviation excise taxes for 10 years and includes the following major provisions (FAA, 1999):1. retains existing freight weigh bill, general aviation fuel and gas taxes, and a 6-dollar departure tax ondomestic flights to and from Alaska and Hawaii;2. converts the 10 percent ad valorem tax on domestic passenger tickets to a combination of ad valorem andflight segment tax over three years beginning October 1, 1997;3. imposes a new 7.5 percent tax on payments to airlines for frequent flyer and similar awards by banks andcredit card companies, merchants, frequent flyer program partners-other airlines, hotels, or rental carcompanies and other businesses;4. increases the current 6-dollar international departure tax to 12 dollars per passenger and adds a 12-dollarinternational arrival tax;5. lowers tax rates on flights to certain rural airports to 7.5 percent without a flight segment component; and6. transfers revenues from the 4.3 cents-per-gallon aviation fuel taxes currently dedicated to reduce thenational U.S. deficit from the general fund to the AATF.Most of this trust fund is used to finance the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) capital programs, namely,Facilities and Equipment; Research, Engineering, and Development; and Airport Improvement Program. Withincertain limits set by Congress, some of the remaining money is used to cover FAA operation and maintenanceexpenses. The portion of the FAA's operation and Maintenance expenses not paid from the trust fund revenues arefinanced by U.S. Treasury general funds.State and local revenues from air transportation are derived from airport charges. Beginning in 1992, localgovernments began collecting passenger facility charges and spending these revenues (both subject to FAAapproval) to finance capital programs.The collection of passenger facility charges was authorized by the Aviation Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of1990. 2Waterway and Marine RevenuesFederal water revenues come from four primary sources: the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF), the InlandWaterways Trust Fund (IWATF), the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF), and tolls and other charges collected bythe Panama Canal Commission.The Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund was established in accordance with the Harbor Maintenance Revenue Act of1986. Revenues for this fund are derived from receipts of a 0.125 percent ad valorem user fee imposed oncommercial users of specified U.S. ports, Saint Lawrence Seaway tolls. On March 31, 1998, per a U.S. SupremeCourt ruling, the tax on exports was terminated (OMB, 2000). This fund is used to finance up to 100 percent of theU.S. Army Corps of Engineers' harbor operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, including O&M costs associated withGreat Lakes navigational projects, and the fund fully finances the operation and maintenance of the Saint LawrenceSeaway Development Corp.
The Inland Waterways Trust Fund was established by the Inland Waterways Revenue Act of 1978 and amended bythe Water Resources Development Act of 1986. The trust fund has been in effect since fiscal year 1981. The sourcesfor the fund are taxes imposed on fuel for vessels engaged in commercial waterway transportation and investmentinterest. From this tax of 24.3 cents per gallon, 4.3 cents goes for deficit reduction, and a statutory maximum of 20cents (raised to that level from the previous maximum of 19 cents at the beginning of 1995) goes to the Trust Fund.The funds are earmarked for financing one-half of the construction and rehabilitation costs of specified inlandwaterway projects.The Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund was established by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989. Revenues forthis fund are raised through tax collection of 5 cents on each barrel of oil produced domestically or imported (OMB,1999). The resources from this fund are used to finance oil pollution prevention and cleanup activities by variousfederal agencies. For the U.S. Coast Guard, the fund finances oil spill recovery and payment of claims. Beginning in1997, the fund also finances the annual disbursement to the Prince William Sound Oil Spill Recovery Institute.The Panama Canal Commission was established by the Panama Canal Act of 1979 to manage, operate, andmaintain the Panama Canal under the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977. The treaty period ended on December 31,1999, when the Republic of Panama assumed full responsibility for the canal. During the treaty period, thecommission collected tolls and other revenues, which were deposited in the U.S. Treasury in an account known asthe Panama Canal Revolving Fund. Money from this fund was used to finance canal operations and capitalprograms, which were reviewed annually by Congress. The revenues reported under this category for FY 2000 arefor the first quarter (October 1999 - December 1999) of Panama Canal operations.State and local water revenues are derived from canal tolls, rents from leases, concession rents, and other chargesfor use of commercial or industrial water transport and port terminal facilities and related services. Fees and rentsrelated to water facilities provided for recreational purposes, such as marina and public docks, and toll ferries are notincluded.Rail RevenuesThere are no governmental transportation revenues for rail (Rail generates fuel taxes that are designated for deficitreduction and, thus, are not considered transportation revenues in these tables).Pipeline RevenuesThe Pipeline Safety Program is funded by user fees assessed on a per-mile basis. The assessments are made oneach pipeline operator regulated by the Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) of the Research and Special ProgramsAdministration (RSPA) in the U.S. Department of Transportation. There are no state and local revenues for pipeline.General Support RevenuesGeneral support revenues come from the Emergency Preparedness Fund, which is generated from fees paid byregistered shippers of hazardous materials. RSPA administers and distributes the revenues to states, territories, andtribes through the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grant program, which is authorized byFederal Hazardous Materials Transportation Law.Transportation ExpendituresExpenditures, rather than obligations, are used in these tables because they represent the final, actual costs to thegovernment, by year, for capital goods and operating services required by transportation programs. Obligationssuggest government commitment to future transportation expenditures, but do not indicate when the funds willactually be disbursed or even if the amounts obligated will be spent.It is important to recognize that in some accounts in the Budget of the United States Government, expenditures for aparticular year understate total government disbursements. This is because certain offsetting collections of fees andassessments from the public are not treated as government revenues, but deducted from disbursements to determineexpenditures. These collections are those mandated, by statute, to directly fund agency expenditures rather than betransferred to the U.S. Treasury. For this reason, expenditures do not necessarily indicate how much the federalgovernment actually spends on transportation each year.
