Millions of dollars are still available to refund Washington state farmers who have been overcharged for fuel thanks to the state's new carbon pricing scheme. The so-called Climate Commitment Act was supposed to exempt agriculture, and when the state failed to do that, the legislature earmarked $30M to refund farmers and farming truckers. But, as state Department of Licensing official Jennifer Clawson tells Dillon, much of that money has so far gone unclaimed, and she's encouraging farmers to still register for their refunds.

Motorists in Auckland may be celebrating today with cheaper fuel at the pump, but ultimately they will be paying more, according to a planning expert, Auckland University's Tim Welch speaks to Susana Lei'ataua.

The Auckland regional fuel tax ended on 30 June that has been active since 2018, with the purported aim to ease cost of living pressures. The generated tax revenue was used for road safety initiatives and public transport infrastructure projects including the eastern busway, new electric trains for the City Rail Link and redevelopment of the downtown ferry terminal. Without a fuel tax, the infrastructure funding will come from rates which are unlikely to increase to recoup the loss of tax revenue. I spoke to Senior lecturer in Urban Planning Dr Timothy Welch about the short and long term impact of the removal of fuel tax.

While the climate benefits from booming electric vehicle sales, the nation's transportation system faces an unfortunate predicament: less gasoline and diesel purchased means dwindling fuel tax revenue. Fuel tax revenue provides a core funding source for operating, maintaining, and improving transportation systems, so policymakers must find a replacement as soon as possible. This event explores such options as mileage fees, higher annual vehicle fees, or abandoning the user-pay principle and relying on general fund revenue.   This program is supported by the Mineta Transportation Institute at San José State University.

The Government is being accused of punishing rural people in this county with the latest fuel tax hike. The rate of carbon tax on home heating fuels has risen by €7.50 to €56 per tonne, while natural gas customers now have to pay 1 cent extra per kilowatt hour. Based on the average annual consumption, each household will now face a carbon tax bill of €122. Westbury resident and Sinn Féin local election candidate James Ryan believes the policy doesn't take older homes with inferior insulation into account.

It's been dubbed "Brown v Brown", as the mayor of Auckland and the Transport Minister grapple for control over the supercity's transport direction.

The Mayor of Auckland has called for a stop to all transport projects funded by the soon-to-be-scrapped Regional Fuel Tax. The government has announced the tax will end by the end of June, prompting questions from the mayor and transport advocates on how the city will fund future projects. Mr Brown says the funding can't be replaced by higher council rates or debt and the end of the tax creates significant uncertainty for Auckland's transport programme. Mayor Wayne Brown spoke to Corin Dann.

Today, the government announced the end date of axing Auckland's regional fuel tax, June 30.  Mayor Wayne Brown has said the funding loss means he'll probably have to cancel a bunch of projects including; improvements to Lake Road on Auckland's Northshore, the final stage of the Eastern Busway and work on an Airport Botany busway.  People filling up in the city have been paying an extra eleven and half cents a litre on fuel, over and above what other motorists around the country pay, since mid 2018.  Without it, the Mayor estimates a transport funding shortfall of one -point-two-billion dollars for the city over the next four years.
