Obama calls for major
highway funding plan
President Obama announced a four-year, $302
billion highway funding plan proposal, calling
on Congress to enact tax reform as a means of
finding money to fund the Highway Trust Fund
and increase federal spending on the country's
ailing roadways.
Obama also announced the beginning of a new
round of TIGER grants, opening up $600 million
in federal money to states and cities for "transfor-
mative" infrastructure projects.
"Infrastructure shouldn't be a partisan issue," he
said. "Everybody uses roads, ports, airports."
The president also pressed Congress to pass a
new highway funding act. "This is one of Con-
gress' major responsibilities, helping states and
cities fund new infrastructure projects," he said.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx
has predicted the trust fund will be empty later
this year.
The American Trucking Associations, in
response to the bill, again called for its proposal
to raise fuel taxes as a means to fund highway
spending, preferring what the group calls a "us-
er-funded plan."
