Warner: “All Vehicles” Should Fund Transportation (Daily Press)
December 3rd, 2014

U.S. Senator Mark Warner suggests a two prong approach to refilling the nation’s transportation funding coffers.  First, “include all vehicles” when it comes to raising money for the dwindling Highway Trust Fund, which gets its money now from gasoline and diesel fuel taxes.  Second, Senator Warner’s BRIDGE Act would “create an independent infrastructure financing authority to facilitate innovative financing mechanisms, provide low-interest loan and loan guarantees and spur public-private partnerships that could attract hundreds of billions of dollars in additional infrastructure investment from the private sector and pension funds.” Click here for article.
