Local taxes to fund public transit fared well on Election Day. But state and federal election results could alter the outlook for infrastructure investment long term.
In Brief:
- Voters backed most of the local transportation funding measures on ballots last week, approving around $25 billion in revenue for public transit.
- Other election results could signal potential shifts in policies related to electric vehicles and transportation emissions.
- Congress faces longer-term challenges over the solvency of the Highway Trust Fund, which pays for most transportation infrastructure.
