Alberta Transportation has a $468M operating expense, on top of ~$1.4B/year in capital projects.

(Tried to filter out the non road-specific projects like LRT and Water Management that was also part of Alberta Transportation's allotment. While there might be certain wastewater projects done specifically to protect road infrastructure, there's really no way of knowing with the data available).

So pushing well past the fuel tax amount before we get to the municipal operating and capital budgets.
