State Highway Funding
• D
The 72,000-mile Texas highway system, once recognized as the best in the
nation, is deteriorating. According to studies of the Federal Highway Administra-
tion, Texas has 17,200 deficient bridges and 7,740 miles of highway rated in
poor condition. Motorists in all parts of the state are suffering a continuing loss
of mobility. Major problems have been observed on Farm to Market roads,
rural primary highways, Interstate routes, and urban freeways.
Current funding sources available to the State Department of Highways
and Public Transportation are inadequate to maintain the existing highway
{ system and to improve the system to keep up with the growth of the state. It is
+ I estimated that the state's population will increase 50% by the year 2000. This
I i anticipated growth will place substantially higher demands on the state's trans-
portation facilities and services.
We urge the 68th Texas Legislature to act expeditiously to provide addi-
tional funding for highway construction and maintenance. We recommend that
the level of state funding for highways be at least equivalent to defined state
highway user fees and taxes. We further recommend that the state highway user
{ fees be increased if necessary to meet the highway funding needs documented
in the revised 20-Year Plan of the State Department of Highways and Public
'Ikansportation.
