State Street Aid Fund Expenditures: On the Road to Understanding

The Tennessee Legislature has authorized the state to distribute a portion of proceeds from the state gasoline and motor vehicle fuel tax to incorporated cities and towns to use for maintaining and improving municipal streets.

According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the gasoline tax yields approximately $660.8 million per year, and each penny of the tax is worth about $30.9 million. Of the $243.5 million in petroleum and alternative fuels tax allocated to cities and counties, cities receive approximately $92,353,410 based upon per capita distributions. The current distribution to cities is based upon $28.41 per capita. The proceeds from these taxes are paid monthly to local governments on a per capita basis.
