Across the United States, funding for infrastructure is usually divided with 30% state burden and 70% federal burden. In Wyoming, the opposite is true, and our infrastructure is suffering as a result of the lack of federal funding.
With the proposed Fuel Tax, Wyoming would be able fulfill the required monetary match of federal grants and receive extensive federal funding to improve our infrastructure. This fuel tax is only 5 cents a year for 3 years, and would give us access to federal funds that will repair, rebuild, and renew our infrastructure to better serve our communities across the state of Wyoming.
