The findings in the study suggest the fuel tax funding of the program could be reduced from $56.8 million to $27.1 million, a reduction of more than $29.7 million. With the findings inconsistent with the growth of the program, State Parks has concluded that a comprehensive evaluation of the basic methodology for how the program is funded in the first place must be undertaken.
