Abstract:

Our testimony today will focus on our work that parallels several issues to be considered by this Subcommittee. In summary, our work to date has shown that 1 Increased funding will be needed for the Interstate 4R Program. 2 Projected Highway Trust Fund revenues are expected to exceed authorized commitment levels. 3 Tolls are a viable, alternative revenue source. 4 The Combined Road Plan demonstration block grant is allowing states increased flexibility to target spending to their priority needs. 5 State highway laws vary in the degree to which they parallel federal statutes.
