Paper abstract bibtex Given that the current funding mechanism to support the highway system in the U.S. heavily relies on the collection of fuel taxes; and given its susceptibility to become more and more unreliable as was proven by the recent shortfalls in the Highway Trust Fund, it is becoming critical to assess the public’s opinion of alternatives of revenue generation systems that are needed to construct and maintain the network of highway system in the U.S. Given this, the main objective of this research was, by utilizing a survey, to generate an understanding of the public perception of the issue of highway funding and different revenue generation systems. The survey was administered in five states including Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming that are covered by the Mountain-Plains Consortium. A sample of good representation of the population in all areas within each state was attempted to be attained. The results of the survey are presented herein in a tabulated format. It is interesting to note that with a few minor exceptions, the results for all five states are very similar. The findings of this survey could be used by the policy-makers in these five states to make better decisions with respect to the alternative options of funding the highway system in their state based on the public’s opinions. A potential secondary benefit of this research is that the survey developed in this research could be utilized in other states as well to assess the perceptions of public in those states.
