In fact, the new user fees provision addresses the broken Highway Trust Fund revenue stream in a substantial manner for the first time in over 30 years," Graves said in a statement. "House Republicans are threatening to take away billions of dollars in funding that will help to slash health-threatening pollution, improve walkability, and rebuild communities harmed by highways," said Katherine Garcia, director of Sierra Club Clean Transportation for All.
