Furthermore, because the seven percent plan includes <br /> growing fee revenues from drivers licenses and vehicle registration, it would show <br /> a greater increase over time). <br /> DOT cost savings and internal efficiencies will also continue to grow, <br /> reaching more than $42 million annually for FY 91-92. The savings will result from <br /> the increased use of private contractors to perform certain maintenance and <br /> operational functions, better utilization of equipment, asphalt recycling, and a <br /> personnel reclassification plan which will make more use of part-time state e mployees. <br /> Overall, the "Roads to the Future" proposal would generate additional buying <br /> power totaling about $200 million per year. Approximately half of that annual total <br /> would be available for right-of-way acquisition and new construction projects, the <br /> other half would be used to match federal funds, increase resurfacing, improving <br /> maintenance and continuing small urban and safety programs. <br /> t <br /> (PLEASE ADD TO THE JUNE 17, 1986 AGENDA PACKET .FOR ITEM G6 - Governor's <br /> Highway-Program Proposal.) <br /> • <br />
