Texas Good Roads Association urges $500 million yearly highway funding
The 2000 member Texas Good Roads Association adopted a resolution in Austin calling on Gov. Briscoe and the legislature to provide $500 million annually to the state highway fund to avert a construction crisis. They propose using highway user tax revenues and restructuring rates to match inflation, noting a $11 billion backlog and only $1.9 billion in anticipated 20 year construction revenues. The group says existing funds must maintain the current system through 1980 with no upgrades.
