Trucking executive opposes diverting highway funds to mass transit
Omaha report quotes Robert H. Shertz of the American Trucking Association asserting that diverting federal highway trust funds to mass transit would aid only 7 percent of the public and undermine interstate work. He cites deplorable highway conditions, notes more highway users than transit beneficiaries, and advocates legal twin 65 foot by 80,000 pound trailers. He claims detours could save 250 million gallons of fuel yearly and discusses speed limits and Carter administration efforts to aid independent truckers.
