| 摘要： | Road construction, upgrades, and maintenance have largely been financed by a gas tax since the first tax on fuel was instituted by the federal government in 1932. Monies from the gas tax and other sources are deposited in the Highway Trust Fund to handle the country's transportation infrastructure needs. States also tax fuel to varying degrees. As a result the average fuel tax paid by U.S. drivers is 48.8 cents per gallon. However, the taxes have failed to keep up with inflation and need. The country's crumbling transportation infrastructure is the result. Further, as the researchers have detailed, based on current conditions and forecasts the funding gap is likely to worsen significantly. |
