Infrastructure investment is a rare Beltway issue where both sides can find common ground.
America's roads, bridges, pipes and ports need sustainable funding to support a modern economy. And while we agree with Secretary LaHood and Governor Rendell's call-to-action we vehemently disagree with their policy prescription.
The call for "eliminating federal restrictions on tolling interstate highways," is deeply misguided. Nationwide tolling, which would impose an additional tax on the 70 percent of goods moved by trucks, would be a disaster for the economy.
The American Trucking Associations recognizes that new revenue sources must be found to address the backlog of road and bridge projects. That's why we've signed on as the co-chairmen of the newly formed Infrastructure Funding Task Force which is committed to exploring many options to find a long-term financing solution that will address our nation's transportation needs.

Furthermore, tolls will force truck drivers and motorists to use secondary roads to avoid
