drivers may also be hit with higher tax. >> when it comes to this issue, there's a lot that local governments want to do to make major trptdzation improvements. but there -- transportation improvements. but there is not enough money in state coughers -- coffers to do it. >> reporter: the city's priority is to make bayline. carroll county's top priority is to improve heavily traveled route 32. anne arundel says it needs to widen 175 in fort meade. in fact, add up the costs for just the top-priority projects, and the state would need an extra $12 billion. governor o'malley explains that that is money the state just doesn't have. >> there's no way to build a $100 million bridge for $10 million. >> reporter: that's why they recommend raising the state's gas tax, by 15 cents per gallon

over three years. >> reporter: the idea of an increase is being discussed in annapolis and on the roads. >> i would sacrifice, i think, 15 cents for that period for improving the roads. >> reporter: many drivers say the price of gas is already too high. that's in part because of the cost of crude oil, which makes up 75 cent of a cost of a gallon. 10 sends for refining that oil. but the last 10 cents, for every gallon, 18.4 percent goes to maryland. and more goes to the trust fund. adding 15 more cents would maryland's gas tax the sixth highesterate country: behind these five states which all charge 40 cents or more. >> derek valcourt, wjz eyewitness news. >> thanks for breaking it down for us. analysts say a 15-cent increase
