Iowa has great needs for updating and repairing its transportation infrastructure. Quality roads are central to economic growth. The Iowa Chamber Alliance supports fully funding the Transportation Investment Moves the Economy in the 21st Century Fund (TIME-21). The Alliance may consider supporting new or alternative sources of revenue, including a fuel tax increase, provided the cap on TIME-21 is removed. New revenues should not be distributed under the old Road Use Tax Fund formula. Consideration must also be given to distributing more dollars toward Iowa’s most traveled roads, whichdrives commerce and economic growth for Iowa.
