I think I flipped the percentages in my previous email/rant. I believe the correct percentages for Wisconsin should be:
60% of ALL road costs (not costs of driving, which is another question, but just the actual infrastructure) - including Interstates, state, county, town, and local roads - paid for by user fees: gas tax, licencing and registration. 40% of road costs paid by non-user fees: principally property taxes, but also state and local sales tax, plus state income tax. Again, if you look at only local road costs, where most bicycling is done - that is removing the state and US highway system - the percent paid by non-user fees is far, far higher. Robbie Webber
