National Transportation Funding: Crossroads Ahead
Maryland is stuck in a transportation crisis. The backlog of transportation projects needing construction funding exceeds $40 billion. The state's elected leaders have failed to provide adequate funding. The cost of congestion in the state is estimated at $3 billion per year.
At least 50 percent of Maryland's transportation funding comes from the federal government, the highway trust fund, a federal account used to help pay for highway and bridge projects. The federal transportation fund has been depleted once this year already. Congress approved an emergency transfer of $8 billion in general treasury dollars last fall to make up a projected shortfall - the first time in the program's history that had happened. It is expected to encounter difficulty again in August of this year, with a need for an additional $8 billion to $10 billion to keep the fund solvent through the year ending September 30, 2010.
