What's the TUF?

The Transportation User Fee (TUF) helps keep Austin’s roads, sidewalks, bridges and other mobility infrastructure in good condition.

Who pays the TUF?: City of Austin residents and businesses pay the mandatory fee to help prolong the life of city infrastructure and assets.
How much is the TUF?: For current residential and commercial fees, visit the Transportation User Fee page.
What services does the TUF provide/cover?: The TUF is responsible for many services that help provide safety, access, and equity for Austin residents. It funds the repair/maintenance of existing assets. The TUF maintains streets, alleys, bridges, traffic signs and signals, as well as sidewalks.
