This story is just another way our country is in denial about paying for governemnt, people expect the roads and bridges to be there, but either want them to be maintained for free, or want someone else to pay. Gas taxes haven’t been raised at the federal level, or in many states (e.g. MA, NJ) for 16 years or more, and so have lost much purchasing power that transportastion funding is at risk. The feds are borrowing money rather than riase any taxes now, and to some extent, so are the states (for example GARVEE bonds) but the bills will come due. Tolls are not the answer politically either, as soon as a specific toll is suggested, those affected go to work to block it (as is going on now in RI, MA)

the KC Tribune is an awful citation riddled with factual errors. there are a few critics over the $6 million request for design and engineering costs that will be part of KC’s TIGER request, but it’s part of a multi-modal proposal that’s much heavier on bike/ped and BRT.

the original request was for the entire capital cost before an operational funding source was confirmed, so the city back-pedaled to err on the side of caution.

everyone knows that design and engineering steps are required for New Stars. few cities or transit agencies have the expertise or staff on the payroll to handle the extra work. there is also no indication the full TIGER request will be funded. no one will know that until january.

Use half the gas tax to fund medicare and medicaid-there are more seniors in NY State than any state except California and Florida-then half could support green transportation and mass transit.

As my colleague Ryan Avent has pointed out, however, new HOT lanes can be added without building more highway capacity by simply converting existing lanes.

That may be what he meant, but I read it as saying that campaigning for tolling is more important than fighting new lane construction. Ryan, you might want to make it clearer, that you can introduce tolling without expanding capacity.

I think its fare to assume that the majority of those polled were not public transit riders. And a majority of those polled either weren’t willing to pay anything, or wanted to stick the entire bill on public transportation riders in the form of higher fares. That’s 63% between the two categories.

Bad as our elected sometimes are, this is just more reason to prefer that these decisions be localized. Local costs, local benefits, local consequences.
