The Legislative Assembly finds that: (1) An efficient transportation system is critical for Oregons economy and quality of life. (2) The revenues currently available for highways and local roads are inadequate to preserve and maintain existing infrastructure and to provide funds for improvements that would reduce congestion and improve service. (3) The gas tax will become a less effective mechanism for meeting Oregons long-term revenue needs because: (a) It will steadily generate less revenue as cars become more fuel-efficient and alternative sources of fuel are identified; and (b) Bundling fees for roads and highways into the gas tax makes it difficult for users to understand the amount they are paying for roads and highways.
