Helping Cities Secure Funding for Adequate Street Maintenance

Street Maintenance Dilemma

Many cities now struggle with the difficult task of funding adequate street maintenance. State and local budgets continue to decrease. Gas taxes are stretched thin. Public street use continues to grow. As if this weren’t enough, statistics prove that refuse, construction, and transit vehicles can cause up to 60% of total vehicle damage to public streets annually — which can cost jurisdictions tens of thousands to millions of dollars to repair. How can this damage from heavy-duty vehicles be proven and how can maintenance expenses be recovered from parties creating the damage? Fortunately, HF&H has solutions.
