WHERE THE MONEY GOES — AND WHAT GETS LEFT BEHIND
Funding congestion relief and safety leaves a shortfall in pavement maintenance
Springville's transportation revenue is committed to congestion relief, safety improvements, active transportation, and daily operations — all priorities residents identified in the 2025 survey. But with every dollar already allocated, there is not enough left to fully fund the pavement maintenance needed to keep our existing roads in their current condition.
TUF revenue is dedicated to roadway maintenance
The TUF funds pavement resurfacing, crack sealing, overlays, micro-surfacing, concrete repair, curb and gutter, and sidewalk maintenance. By covering this maintenance shortfall, TUF revenue releases Sales Tax and C-Road funds from that obligation — enabling those dollars to fund the congestion relief, safety improvements, and active transportation infrastructure residents identified as top priorities.

A tradeoff the City can no longer absorb
Funding congestion relief, safety improvements, and active transportation — all priorities residents identified — consumes the available revenue. That leaves a $1,215,000 annual shortfall in what it takes to simply keep our roads in their current condition.
The TUF solves this without cutting other priorities
Funding congestion relief, safety improvements, and active transportation — all priorities residents identified — consumes the available revenue. That leaves a $1,215,000 annual shortfall in what it takes to simply keep our roads in their current condition.
Roads decline without dedicated funding
Roads neglected past their maintenance window cost 4–5× more to restore than timely preservation work. Without additional revenue, Springville's road quality will slide — and catching up later costs far more than staying ahead now.
Other funds are freed to do more
With maintenance covered by TUF, C-Road and Sales Tax dollars are no longer stretched to fill that gap. They can be directed fully toward congestion relief, safety improvements, and the Active Transportation Plan.
Annual Maintenance: What we have vs. what we need
Modeled to sustain the current average pavement condition rating out of 5.7 out of 10
The bottom line: Springville's investment in congestion relief, safety improvements, and active transportation leaves roadway maintenance underfunded by $1,215,000 every year. The TUF fills exactly that gap — keeping our existing roads in good condition while the rest of the transportation program moves forward. Consistent, scheduled pavement maintenance also significantly extends the lifespan of our roads. A road maintained on schedule can last 30 years or more, while one that falls into disrepair requires full reconstruction at a cost 4–5 times higher. By staying ahead of deterioration, the TUF saves Springville millions in future road replacement costs — making it one of the most cost-effective investments the City can make.
