California High-Speed Rail Blog
Feb. 27, 2011
The California High-Speed Rail Blog reports on a recent study by Subsidy Scope on road funding in each of the 50 states. California data from between 1995 and 2007 indicate that only 39% of road spending was generated by user fees. The blog proceeds to note a prevalent double standard: rail and transit services are often expected to operate without subsidy while roads usually require large subsidies to operate and maintain.
