For Star subscribers: As a result, Arizona taxpayers could have to shell out another $360 million if they want to ease the worsening I-10 congestion through Pinal County.
Howard Fischer Arizona taxpayers could have to shell out another $360 million if they want smoother car and truck traffic between Tucson and Phoenix.
The dollars the state puts up would go back into the treasury — where they could be used for other priorities — if and when some new source of federal money could be found, Shope said. What appears to have happened, Shope said, is federal highway officials were more interested in funding what he called"green transportation'' for this round of grants. That might include alternatives to driving, such as bikeways.
The state has been widening sections of the interstate for years. But the last section has been an issue. That was the result of a 17% increase in revenues in the 2022 fiscal year. But legislative budget staffers predict that will moderate to 6% this year — and just 2% the year after that.He said probably half of the residents of the Casa Grande area with jobs drive daily into Maricopa County."When they do that, they drop their sales tax dollars into Maricopa County,'' Shope said.
"I hope so,'' McFarland said."I think we'll learn from the first one. And, hopefully, we'll get some feedback from the feds as to what we may have not done right in the first application.'' Congestion to get worseShope also said he understands if the feds are looking to fund alternatives for transit aside from more pavement.
