Share: U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary nominee Pete Buttigieg acknowledged on Thursday that raising the federal gas tax will be one of the options to fund major investments needed for highway infrastructure. I think all options need to be on the table, Buttigieg said during his confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate s Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. The current state of the highway trust fund [HTF] is that there s more going out than coming in, and up until now that s been addressed with general funding transfers. I don t know whether Congress would want to continue doing that. I think in the near term we need a solution that can provide some predictability and sustainability. In the long term, we need to bear in mind that as vehicles become more efficient and we pursue electrification, sooner or later there will be questions about whether the gas tax can be effective at all.
