TRANSFERS OF ROADS FUNDS BETWEEN STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

Attempts are made to identify and quantify all the various cross-transfers of roads funds which occur in each state between state and local government authorities. Comparable time series data are presented at the individual state and all states aggregate levels for grants, loans, reimbursements and loan repayments. Net transfer payments are then presented at constant roadworks prices. During the period 1974/75 to 1980/81, there was an overall real decline of 13.7 per cent in net transfers of roads funds to local government authorities. During the three years 1978/79 to 1980/81 there was also a real decline in the sum of road grants, general revenue grants and rates, which forms the major source of funds available to local government authorities for the performance of their roadworks responsibilities.
