The next president of the United States must press ahead with a plan that ensures the long-term sustainability of the Highway Trust Fund, nearly three dozen transportation groups wrote to the nominees of the two major parties last week.
“We believe that an infrastructure package needs to include, as a foundation, additional sustainable revenue to ensure the permanent solvency of the Highway Trust Fund,” the groups wrote. “The additional revenue sources must be long-term, reliable, dedicated and focused on the users and beneficiaries of our transportation network to support the increased investment provided under your infrastructure proposal.”
