W.Va. DOH says residents not opposed to road taxes
March 19, 2010 11:57 AM


A series of public forums on highway funding is showing West Virginia highway officials that residents aren't opposed to tax increases for roads.



Rob Watson with the Division of Highways says the most popular suggestion to come from the forums is small tax and fee increases over a long period of time.

The DOH is holding public meetings across the state in an effort to develop a plan that will guide transportation planning for the next 25 years.

According to the Department of Transportation, the state could raise another $100 million a year for highways if it increased taxes and fees.

A draft of the plan will be available on April 1. The DOH will accept public comments until May 15.
