Abstract
For many months leading up to the passage of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, there was a major debate on how to fund future surface transportation programs. MAP-21 was extended 33 times since the original act concluded at the end of September 2008. The FAST Act provided a modest increase in funding compared to MAP-21 levels. Consequently many states still needed to raise additional revenues to meet their surface transportation needs.
