Transportation: Support Sustainable Transportation Funding

Added on: July 11, 2019

Abstract:

Most truckstops are located within ¼ mile of an Interstate.  These businesses – which are often the largest taxpayers in their communities – rely on Interstate travelers to survive. The communities along highway interchanges rely on the health of the off-highway businesses that cater to the traveling public.  As Congress begins to consider a massive infrastructure package, lawmakers should Support raising motor fuel excise taxes to fund further investment; and Oppose tolling existing interstates and commercializing Interstate rest areas.
