Action 22, Club 20 and Pro 15 Transportation Survey

There is discussion going on at a state level on how transportation funding will be allocated throughout the state. It is currently distributed based on a formula of 45% Vehicle Miles Traveled, 40% Lane Miles and 15% truck miles. The new formulas under discussion all include using Population as a funding mechanism which could reduce funding in rural / less populated areas. We want to make sure we are advocating for your best interests and would appreciate your answers to the questions below. Please take the survey and have it back by midnight on April 15, 2014.

As we continue to advocate for funding for out state areas in transportation there are times when we might need stories and examples and possibly testimony. If you would be willing to be help, please e mail us

If you would like to share information with us that is not in the survey and that pertains to transportation, please E mail one of us.
