Subject: State Fuel Tax Allocations to Cities
As provided for in 15-70-101, the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) calculates the state fuel
tax to be allocated to each city in Montana. Based upon the mileage that the city certified and the
population estimates provided by the Montana Department of Commerce, the allocation for the next state
fiscal year for Bozeman will be paid out in twelve monthly installments beginning July 2008.
Please note that for this year's calculation, the U.S. Census Bureau's 2006 population estimates for
Montana's cities and counties are being used. Since population carries equivalent weight in fuel tax
calculations as street and alley mileage, any differences in the allocation amounts shown below as
compared to last year's allocations maybe due to either or both factors.
Also, some cities experienced substantial growth or annexation into their incorporated boundaries. These
actions affect the allocation dollars of the rest of the cities whose mileage may not have changed
significantly. The table below compares Bozeman's calculated fuel tax allocation amount between state
fiscal years 2009 and 2008.
