Abstract:

This discussion of the use of impact fees for road improvements, highlights the use of such fees by various localities in the United States, and the types of highway improvements funded with fees. Several important concerns and issues related to the use of impact fees are explored, namely: are they a tax or a fee? how do they address developers' concerns regarding up-front payment of fees, paying a fair share, and decisions about improvements? who really pays the fee? how are traffic impacts determined? how do impact fees affect a locality's ability to attract development? how can the planning process address privately funded improvements in scattered locations? what is the future of impact fees? Each one of these areas is discussed in some detail. A step-by-step description is given of a suggested process for determining the traffic impacts of new development and some of the critical issues in applying the methodology. Issues that local officials should address when considering whether to institute impact fees are noted.
