If Congress had not extended it, the federal gas tax would have expired today. Transportation projects like the Green River Rock Springs Alternative Route are funded by a combination of federal and state government funds that comes from the federal gas tax. Pete Rahn, Senior Vice President of HNTB Corporation and former Director of the Missouri Department of Transportation says that while the extension is a good temporary fix, a new system to fund our roads has to be developed.
Rahn believes that the current generation needs to step up to the plate to fix our infrastructure.
Congress voted on September 15th to extend the gas tax and highway and mass transit funding through March of 2012.
