    funding for highways is supposed to be gotten from tolls and road taxes.

    Regressive taxation leads to overfunded main roads and underfunded side streets.

    Expecting the Government budget to cover maintenance of infrastructure is wishful thinking

    Roads are fundamental to the operation of any government. It isn’t simply that states need to maintain roads. It is that states need roads in order to exist.
