Issue Position: Largest Investment in Roads and Bridges

Issue Position

We all agree our roads and bridges need improvement and House Republicans delivered over the past two years. The Legislature invested a historic level of existing funds into our transportation infrastructure without increasing the gas tax. This includes a package enacted last year with more than $300 million in funding for roads over two years, with an additional $16 million for small cities' road projects. We provided another $57 million in funding for roads and bridges this year, with a majority of that dedicated to small cities assistance, township road aid, and local bridge replacement. On top of all that, this year's Capital Investment package provided more than $540 million for long-term transportation needs.
