Research reveals highway repairs lag behind funding knowledge
A TRIP poll shows only 6 percent of Americans are aware of the Highway Trust Fund which collects 6.3 billion annually for roads and bridges. Just 3 percent know the 4 cent per gallon gasoline tax rate, while many overestimate it. The fund, funded by fuel, truck, tire, and lubricating oil taxes, finances road projects. Officials warn public misunderstanding and declining fuel sales hinder repair funding as backlogs increase since 1970.
