In my opinion, the only involvement the type of government should have in Road building is the interstate transportation system. Beyond that it’s each state’s responsibility.

No more federal funds or involvement in state roads. It’s nothing but blackmail money.

I agree. I’m not even sure the Feds should be involved in maintaining existing stretches of the interstate system. New interstate highways, maybe, but the states benefit from the systems enough so that they ought to be responsible to rapid them, as necessary.

I’m not sure about P3’s. I don’t like the idea of toll roads and I’m inclined to think state taxes on vehicle fuel is a better way of financing road maintenance.
