Nearly 80 percent of NATSO’s truckstop and travel plaza members are located within one-quarter mile of the Interstate Highway System. NATSO supports a robust federal highway program that is funded through the motor fuels tax. The fuel tax remains the most efficient and equitable method to raise dedicated highway funds and represents the ultimate user fee or pay-as-you-go approach to funding infrastructure. NATSO opposes revenue measures that are inefficient and disrupt interstate travel and freight movement, such as the tolling of interstate highways.
