Reason Foundation's Adrian Moore says the way the nation funds infrastructure is broken and raising the gas tax would mean more pork, not better roads. He writes, "Transportation spending should be performance-based and prioritized to provide more mobility; transportation earmarks should be eliminated; private sources of investment should be utilized; and the gas tax should replaced by a sustainable funding system that features direct user fees."
