Filling The Transportation Shortfall

http://www.vpr.net/audio/programs/84/2013/01/VTED_0125_2013.mp3

People are driving more fuel-efficient cars, which is just one reason that Vermont transportation revenues are down. That means that the state could miss out on available federal funds. Some lawmakers want to raise new transportation revenues so this funding doesn't go unclaimed.

House Transportation Committee Chairman Pat Brennan of Colchester and Dick Mazza, who chairs the Senate Transportation Committee, discuss the options available to the state.

Also on the program, VPR's John Dillon provides analysis of the week's news.

And we listen back to the voices in the news.

Bob Kinzel has been covering the Vermont Statehouse since 1981 — longer than any continuously serving member of the Legislature. With his wealth of institutional knowledge, he answers your questions on our series, "Ask Bob."
