10 State of Louisiana Transportation Infrastructure Investment Plan
BENCHMARKING LOUISIANA
44TH lowest gas tax in the Unites States
$13.1B BACKLOG
50TH ranked state in overall transportation investment
FUNDING THE PLAN $20/mo
(1000 gallons/year)$700M(annual program increase)
The needs are well-documented and indisputable. Louisiana is on the wrong end of most lists concerning infrastructure investment and the impact is severe. Louisiana citizens pay some of the highest automobile insurance rates and significantly more for automobile repairs than our southern neighbors due to a lack of resources to address critical rehabilitation of our existing system. The congestion and backlog continues to grow. Due to the lack of investment, our citizens and visitors waste time and fuel sitting in traffic resulting in reduced productivity and quality of life. There has not been an increase in state fuel tax revenues since 1989, resulting in a 56% reduction in buying power from inflation alone. The trend must be reversed.
THE TIME IS NOW
THE NEED IS GREAT
