On April 15, the TCC sent a letter urging the Senate to advance an infrastructure bill to address the shortfalls in investment in our transportation system. The group noted the recently released study, Renewing Our Commitment to the Interstate Highway System: A Foundation for the Future, which makes the a strong case for Congress to pass an infrastructure package that increases investment in our roads and bridges. The TCC supports a number of the recommendations made by the report, in particular the need to pass a permanent, dedicated, user-based revenue stream to support increased transportation investments through an increase in the gas tax and indexing the gas tax for inflation going forward or moving to a vehicles miles traveled system.
