Speaking to a major conference of North American transportation professionals, Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development Secretary William D. Ankner, Ph.D., stressed the importance of tolling and other sustainable forms of funding to promote mobility and economic growth in America.
“We cannot continue to fund our vital transportation assets by taxing a fuel that is unsustainable," Ankner said. "Transportation agencies in America must move to tolling and other direct user fees to support transportation and much needed mobility.”
