Rep. Olson |
Asks how are annual miles determined. |
|
|
|
270 |
Batten |
ODOT calculates revenue miles in their forecast reports. Batten describes the methods used by ODOT to calculate mileage on light (under 8,000 pounds) and heavy vehicles (over 8,000 pounds). |
|
|
|
288 |
Rep. Olson |
Asks why the 8,000 pound number is used. |
|
|
|
290 |
Batten |
Responds that the distinction is between cars and trucks. That number has been used for many years in various revenue studies and reports. |
|
|
|
312 |
Rep. Olson |
Asks about vehicles who overpay. Do they receive any type of adjustment? |
|
|
|
314 |
Batten |
Responds that “what they owe exceeds the costs they impose.“ |
|
|
|
323 |
Acting Chair Berger |
Discusses with Malik about adjusting Table B concerning the heaviest vehicles. |
|
|
|
325 |
Mazen Malik |
Responds that the Constitution requires the legislature needs to review the heavy and light allocations and see if they are proportionate. The study says that this split is all right and there is no need for a change. There is no constitutional responsibility to refine adjustments within the class of heaviest vehicles. |
|
|
|
364 |
Rep. Galizio |
Asks how the allocation compares to previous studies. |
|
|
|
380 |
Malik |
Responds that this information can be found on page 6-5, Exhibit 6-2 of the HCAS booklet (Exhibit 2). |
|
|
|
392 |
Rep. Riley |
Clarifies that the legislature could reallocate amounts within the heavy category, but it is not required by the state constitution. The constitutional requirement is to have the study done every two years. |
