But that amendment will do nothing to address the transportation fund shortfall.

State agencies are required to submit their two-year spending plans for the next budget on Monday. However, the Department of Transportation has traditionally turned in its budget later in the year, “so we do not have any information to share at this time,” said department spokeswoman Peg Schmitt.

DOT Secretary Mark Gottlieb has been soliciting opinions from around the state and discussing a task force report that laid out the problems and possible solutions.

That 2013 report recommended increasing a variety of Wisconsin’s driving-related taxes and fees to pay for $4.8 billion in projects over the next decade. The recommendations went nowhere in the Legislature, where Republicans in control refused to consider raising gas taxes or any other taxes or fees.

Gottlieb said this summer that the state was considering increasing the gas tax, which hasn’t been raised since 1997, and changing registration fees from a flat amount to something tied to miles driven.

The task force recommended both in its report. Other task force ideas ignored by Walker and the Legislature included increasing the driver’s license fee and eliminating the sales tax exemption on the trade-in value of vehicles.
