6. Highway Funding is Severely Inadequate
$70 billion annual investment from all sources
$133 billion needed to prevent problems from getting
worse
$756 billion shortfall by 2020, $3.25 trillion shortfall by
2040
Need to roughly double highway spending to begin
to reduce congestion, address pavement and
bridge deficiencies
7. Highway Trust Fund
Current and Short-Term Situation
Since 2008 Congress has transferred $41 billion from the
general fund to the HTF and an additional $12.6 billion is
authorized for 2014
In FY2015 HTF obligations will exceed revenue
2015 shortfall options
Cut funding from $51 billion to $0 (the no action scenario)
$14 billion from General Fund
Raise fuel taxes by 10 cents per gallon
Combination of those options
