Revenue Gap

Arkansas General Revenues have consistently increased. This chart shows year-over-year increases – and average of 6.6% annual growth over the last five years – as our tax base broadens and our state continues to grow.

Highway revenues, however, have remained relatively flat, only inching up an average of 1.4% in the same five-year period. Any highway revenue growth has generally been the result of increased taxes, rather than natural growth due to increased consumption.
