Issue Position

The Federal Highway Trust Fund is hitting a revenue shortfall and will be unable to meet its spending obligations this spring. Financed by federal gas taxes, the Trust Fund is the primary source of federal transportation dollars. Congress must pass a bill that makes the Trust Fund solvent and stable so state and local agencies can plan for the future.

Historically, Michigan has been a "donor state," receiving less highway funding back than its residents pay in gas taxes. I will fight to level the playing field for Michigan taxpayers by working to ensure Michigan receives equitable funding for roads and bridges.
