METROPOLITAN FISCAL ANALYSIS. VOLUME 5: OVERVIEW: LOCAL-STATE-FEDERAL FISCAL FLOWS AND FUNCTIONS IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

The report summarizes a larger study which covers two major topics: local-state-federal fiscal flows in the Washington metropolitan area, and costs and benefits associated with non-resident use of local facilities and services. The first section of the report identifies the local-state-federal fiscal flows in the region and describes their concentrations, distributions, and comparative burdens. These fiscal flows are analyzed to determine how the region and its subdivisions are influenced by local-state-federal tax collections and outlays for local-serving facilities. Fiscal flows are compared with regard to local-state-federal sources and the three portions of the region. The second section of the report addresses costs related to two public services in the region: transportation--metrobus and metrorail, and social services. Costs and benefits are also analyzed for recreation and cultural opportunities, emergency health services, and fire mutual aid.
