This study examines the current state of US infrastructure funding, focusing on electric vehicles, economic factors, changing transportation habits, and the trucking industry. The research reveals that electric vehicle sales can sustain infrastructure revenues with appropriate fees, and government spending on transportation infrastructure remains largely unaffected by construction costs or economic fluctuations. Public transit and hybrid/electric vehicles have minimal impact on overall transportation patterns. Heavy trucks cause most of the damage to roads and bridges but do not generate proportionate tax revenues. The study recommends implementing registration and user fees for electric vehicles to ensure their contribution to infrastructure maintenance. Additionally, a mileage tax for the trucking industry is proposed to address the disproportionate impact of heavy vehicles. Finally, the research emphasizes the need for developing best practices in allocating limited infrastructure funds to maximize efficiency and sustainability in transportation infrastructure management.
