Abstract:

Road infrastructure is a key component of any region’s transportation system. It allows ; unprecedented levels of mobility, accessibility, and economic growth. On the other hand, the cost ; associated with inadequate road infrastructure can amount to billions of dollars. ; In the U.S., the largest revenue source for the funding of transportation infrastructure is the ; federal and state fuel taxes. These taxes were conceived in the 1950s as an indirect charge to ; recover the costs of vehicle travel on the U.S. highway system. However, this tax has not ; increased with the inflation rate and given increasing maintenance and construction costs, and ; more fuel efficient vehicles, the vehicle per mile tax has become inadequate. State budget ; shortfalls affect the ability to maintain existing facilities properly and may lead to delayed ; maintenance which in turn may reduce the lifespan of roads, bridges, ports, and other ; infrastructures.
