Since gas taxes are collected based on gallons of gasoline, and not on the price of gas itself, the amount of gas tax revenue received by the City has, until recently, remained more or less flat, while the cost of street maintenance has increased over time due to inflation and increased traffic. The City is now receiving additional revenue from State Senate Bill 1 (2017) and Measure B (2016), which the City is dedicating completely to the Pavement Rehabilitation Projects within the Capital Improvement Program.
