road funding
Pavement construction money
Road funding is money allocated for building, maintaining, and improving roads and highways.
Sources typically include fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, tolls, and general tax revenue.
Road funding debates often center on whether users should pay proportionally to their road use: The gas tax has been the traditional mechanism for road funding, but electric vehicles complicate that model.
