Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Transportation Code Section 623.364 to increase from $80 to $200 the maximum fee a regional mobility authority may collect for the issuance of permits for the movement of oversize or overweight vehicles carrying cargo on certain roads located in Hidalgo County. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2017.
Methodology
The bill would authorize the Hidalgo County Regional Mobility Authority (HCRMA) to charge a fee of up to $200 for an oversize/overweight trip permit on certain roadways under Subchapter S, Chapter 623 of the Transportation Code. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) reports that the HCRMA issued 24,600 permits at the current maximum fee of $80 per trip in fiscal year 2016 (approximately $1.97 million in fee revenue). Under current law, HCRMA may use 15 percent of the fees collected for administrative costs, and the remainder is to be paid to TxDOT to fund maintenance of certain highways subject to Subchapter S.For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed the HCRMA would charge the maximum fee of $200 authorized by the bill beginning in fiscal year 2018 and issue approximately 24,600 trip permits each fiscal year for a total of $4,920,000 in permit revenue. It is assumed HCRMA would retain 15 percent ($738,000) for administrative costs and pay the remainder (85 percent or $4.2 million) to TxDOT for annual revenue gains of $442,800 to HCRMA and $2.5 million to the State Highway Fund beginning in fiscal year 2018.
Local Government Impact
The bill would result in revenue gains of up to $442,800 each year to the HCRMA.
