Load Limits, the project team reviewed the estimated costs imposed by use of overweight (OW) vehicles and ways to allocate costs to different vehicle classes. Additionally, cost recovery structures were explored for the possibility of generating additional revenue to fund pavement repairs needed due to accelerated consumption by OW vehicles. The different cost recovery methods studied included the following: State fuel taxes; Truck registration fees; Truck sales taxes; Truck tire sales taxes; OW truck permit fees; Weight-miles and vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) fees; and Corridor truck fees. The research team studied the cost recovery methods identified and then selected a recommended set of methods for use on a specific Texas freight corridor; this document reports the findings as follows. Chapter 2 identifies the Texas corridor selected for implementation of the corridor truck fee. Chapter 3 explores the existing cost recovery methods in use in Texas and other innovative and technological methods in use around the world. This chapter also identifies the positives and negatives of potential implementation or extensions of each method. Chapter 4 selects a preferred cost recovery method and identifies agency costs to be included in the fee structure. Chapter 5 summarizes the researchers’ exploration of the potential implementation of OW vehicle cost recovery methods on a specific freight corridor in Texas.
