  2. Voters Support Infrastructure 70% People are willing to pay when they see what they will get and that there will be accountability to deliver More than 70 percent of local infrastructure funding issues have passed in the last five years

  3. Americans Willing to Pay for Transportation Improvement * According to HNTB’s America THINKS survey series research. Almost 3 in 4 (74 percent) Americans would be willing to spend more on various transportation expenses or taxes if the money was put toward long-term transportation improvement. Among those wiling to spend more, the most popular expenditure would be a flat-rate increase: tolls on roads and bridges (44 percent).*

  4. Americans Willing to Spend to Save Time in Traffic * According to HNTB’s America THINKS survey series research, Feb. 2011 More than half (58 percent) of Americans would pay more each month to reduce the time they spend in traffic by 20 percent. These citizens would spend an average of $13 per month – more than $150 a year – to make it happen.*

  5. Americans Support Improvements to Major Corridors * According to HNTB’s America THINKS survey series research. Nearly 7 in 10 (69 percent) of Americans are either somewhat or extremely likely to support funding long-term improvements to the six interstate highways designated as “Corridors of the Future” by the U.S. Department of Transportation.*

  6. Residents of 19 California Counties Voted to Impose Sales Taxes to Improve Transportation • 19 “self-help counties” represent 81 percent of the population of the state, or roughly 30 million people • Taxes are authorized up to 1 cent (1 percent) and are subject to two-thirds voter approval and usually have a duration of 20-30 years • Represent a total investment of more than $140 billion
