The 2015 UBCM Gas Tax Audit is found in Appendix A, the 2015 Recipient Specified Audit Procedure is found in Appendix B, and the Reported Project List is found in Appendix C of this report. The following are some highlights from the 2015 reporting year. 2015 Gas Tax Reporting 871 Gas Tax Projects Funded 470 Completed Projects 401 Continuing Projects $222 million in GTF Expended by Recipients Overview In 2015, local governments reported federal Gas Tax fund (GTF) expenditures of $222 million. These expenditures were invested into 871 projects across British Columbia. Of those projects, 470 were reported as completed in 2015 while a remaining 401 projects will be completed in future years1. Each project dollar spent contributes to national program objectives of productivity and economic growth, a clean environment, and strong cities and communities. Part of the annual expenditure reporting requirements includes collecting total project costs for reported Gas Tax projects. Collecting this data allows UBCM to calculate a value for funding leveraged in each eligible category. In 2015, for every $100 of federal Gas Tax funds invested in eligible categories, in general, an additional $165 was leveraged through other funding sources. 1 Of the 401 continuing projects, 78 reported projects were launched in previous years while 323 are new projects for 2015.
