Impact fee decline and transportation funding gap
Summary
Impact fee collections are drying up — partly because state rules now let developers share credits — leaving the northwest zone with under $4 million and pushing road capacity projects onto the transportation trust fund. Staff floated increasing gas tax and other user fees as a fix.

Impact analysis
Roughly $2 million left in unrestricted road reserves; major projects like the 2209/210 interchange are being shifted to trust fund dollars.
Current residents who keep getting road projects funded, at least until reserves run out.
Future funding for road capacity projects is at risk once reserves are exhausted.
