The 38% of revenue distributed to the CSAH fund is allocated to only five metro counties, Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Scott and Washington, and excludes Ramsey and Hennepin. The MVLST is distributed proportionally based on the population in each of the five eligible metro counties. In FY2018, nearly $40 million was generated and distributed to the five metro counties. If FY2018 MVLST funds were distributed to all seven metro counties, Hennepin County’s share would have been approximately $10.7 million. Between 2011 and 2021, an estimated $270 million in MVLST revenues will be distributed to Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Scott, and Washington counties for use on their county roads. Since 2011, approximately $160 million in MVLST revenues have been distributed to those five counties, and it is anticipated that an additional $110 million will be provided by 2021. Hennepin needs MVLST funding for essential road and bridge infrastructure Hennepin County has more than double the center line miles, more than four times the signalized intersections, and serves twice the vehicle miles traveled of any of the five counties receiving MVLST revenues. Hennepin County’s 25-year construction needs exceed $1.3 billion, based on the 2018 MnDOT CSAH Distribution Report. When compared to the five counties receiving the MVLST, our need is equal to 73% of the five other counties combined. MnDOT’s estimated Money Needs for each of the seven metro counties is shown in the chart at right. More transportation funds generated in Hennepin should stay in Hennepin According to the Minnesota House Research December 2017 State Aid Report, Hennepin County generated approximately $480 million from the Motor Vehicle Sales Tax, Registration Tax and Fuels Tax combined in 2014. In the same year, Hennepin County and its 45 municipalities received $83.4 million in the form of County and Municipal Highway State Aid. Thus, about $400 million per year of transportation funds generated within Hennepin County went to fund statewide priorities. Currently, Hennepin County receives $69 per capita in the form of County and Municipal Highway State Aid, compared to $79 per capita metro-wide and $132 per capita statewide. 4412.553183230.5936.512.522ANOKA CARVER DAKOTA SCOTT WASHINGTON$ MILLIONSMVLST DISTRIBUTION 2011-2018 2019-2021 $469 $297 $511 $1,325 $593 $269 $274 Money Needs (in MIL) COUNTY TRANSPORTATION NEEDS Anoka Carver Dakota Hennepin Ramsey Scott Washington $69 $79 $132 $0 $20 $40 $60 $80 $100 $120 $140 Hennepin Metro Counties Statewide TRANSPORTATION STATE AID PER CAPITA
