Revenue sharing would end federal aid highway program
Topeka Kansas, AP officials say Nixon plan to combine highway, airport, and urban transit funds into a single transport fund would strip the federal aid highway program. R L Peyton, assistant Kansas highway director, warns rural states would rely on own funds for new roads and counties and cities would be funded at governors’ and mayors’ discretion. He notes the shift toward funding via elected officials risks instability for long term highway planning and cites major transportation acts from 1965 through 1970 including the beautification act.
