This year's annual report on state highway funding methods is being published at a time when the Bush Administration is proposing greater transportation spending with substantially larger state and local cost sharing, and Congress is debating the reauthorization of the federal-aid transportation program which expires September 30, 1991. Also, the nation's backlog of road and bridge deficiencies is high and traffic in practically every state is increasing. The average state gas tax has increased 95% since 1980. As a result, state and local highway funding during the 1980's increased by 75%, compared to a 64.7% increase in federal highway funding. States are shouldering more and more of the highway funding burden, despite the fact that most states this year faced budget deficits.
