Abstract

The article reports on the call of the U.S. government for new highway tolls and more private funding of road and mass-transit projects. The government claims that more tolls and public-private partnerships can solve the nation's problem in infrastructure. It cites the move of several states to turn to business consortiums to finance, build and operate new highways, bridges and tunnels. According to Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, gas-tax rates, private money and toll revenue can address needed increases in funding.
