Thom, thank you for the excellent source.

In summary, 13% of the Oregon Transportation budget is derived from the Gas
tax and vehicle registration fees.

RE: [OBRA Chat] BTA press release on bike registration bill*******Road Tax
conspiracy?
I read a lot of stuff, Oregonian, BikePortland, BTA press releases, etc.,
but I have never seen anything that directly describes where the funds for
our roads come from. I would love to see a real number or a pie chart or
something. Can someone please help me with this?

Attached is the BTA's press release on the bike registration bill.
Karl Rohde, the BTA's Government Relations & Public Affairs Director, spoke
about the bill live on KXL at 7:30 this morning. Please feel free to
contact Karl if you have questions or concerns.
The BTA will put a copy of the press release on the website or blog, for
those who can't read attachments.
The BTA is an important voice for cyclists in the state legislature.
Please, if you support their work, consider becoming a member. The cost is
reasonable, and the work is critical.
