We pay a gas tax for roads.

Gas tax revenues are generally only used for capital projects, not operating expenses. The cost of plowing or resurfacing a road is normally paid out of general tax revenues.

Don't know about that one way or the other, but I can absolutely tell you that AMtrak is subsidied by the gasoline tax. Probably take some digging to find the proof, if needed.
