68% of Americans Want Increase In Federal Transportation Investment
How often do you hear someone say, "Please tax me more?" You don't. That's why when people say they're willing to pay more for better transportation infrastructure, you know our system is in bad shape. Results from a new AAA study just released yesterday say 52% of respondents said they are willing to pay higher gas taxes per month for better roads and other facilities. 43% of people who took the survey also said they have seen road conditions decline in just the past three years! Ouch, things are crumbling before our eyes!
Here are more results from the AAA study.
