Financing
Financing Alternatives to get more projects through the production pipeline GAS TAX is not sustainable. We must diversity our sources of revenue Tolling a policy that all new capacity on interstates and expressways shall be tolled where feasible or at the very least tolls should complement traditional funding in delivering improvements and new capacity

A Few Observations Toward the Future
States collectively spend about $10 billion in federal funds each year on the Interstate System The current annual shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund is about $10 billion A toll of about 2¢ per mile for cars and 4¢ per mile for trucks for travel on the Interstate System would generate about $16 billion annually The toll from Jacksonville, FL to Pittsburg, PA would be about $16 for cars and $32 for trucks – a trip to Seattle, WA would be about $60 for cars and $120 for trucks So . . . should the future preservation and capacity needs of the Interstate System be funded through tolls?
