HNTB Releases Viewpoint: "Fixing America’s Nation’s Transportation Network Requires Long-term Vision and a Mix of Funding Solutions"
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (PRWEB) June 07, 2018 -- A new HNTB Corporation Viewpoint advocates that our leaders unite to pass a bill with the right blend of straight-ahead funding, smart leveraging, private investment and other tactics to provide a financial platform for creating our 21st century transportation system. The Viewpoint, “Let’s unite behind a transportation bill that will sustain our leadership position,” is authored by John Barton, PE, HNTB national DOT market sector leader and senior vice president.
According to Barton, a fuel tax increase, if passed, would not put a major dent in Americans’ finances. He points out that adding a penny to the fuel tax would cost the average driver only about $10 more per year with the potential to generate billions in funds for road and bridge construction and repairs.
