Transportation
Investing in America's transportation infrastructure creates jobs, retains jobs and is a catalyst for economic development.
The most important challenge facing Michigan’s transportation system is increasing the rate of return on federal highway and transit funds.
For decades the state of Michigan has sent more federal highway tax money to Washington than it has received in return. In fact, on a four-year average under TEA-21, Michigan ranks 48th out of all states on the return of federal highway funds. For that reason I support an increase in the size of the highway funding guarantee to a minimum of 95 percent of each state's share of contributions to the Highway Trust Fund.
It is unfair for Michigan taxpayers to continue to send more money to Washington than they receive in transportation funding.
