As a non-driver[1], I totally look forward to the day when my taxes are no longer used to fund the road network and its deleterious effects.

[1] can drive, choose not to, don't own a car




Federal highways are about 30-50% funded by gas tax in the US; I agree fuel taxes should be increased to the point where they pay for the road network. (State/local roads are separate, and are much more multi-model in use, at least in cities, so it's harder to apportion costs.) (https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2009/09/17/do-highway-users-pay-...)
