ODOT Director Warns Against Fuel Tax Rollback

In a March 29 briefing to the House Transportation Committee, Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Director Jack Marchbanks said a plan (Senate Bill 277) to roll back the state’s fuel tax “would devastate the finances of ODOT.”

As reported by Gongwer News Service, the director said losing the recently expanded gas tax revenue would cost the state $4 billion, including more than $1 billion for local projects. 3/30/2022
