America needs a new plan to successfully meet the looming highway
trust fund shortfall and to strengthen our transportation system. The
Build USA Infrastructure Act gives us a plan. For 5 years following the expiration of the FAST Act, this
legislation would direct the U.S. Treasury to dedicate approximately
$21.4 billion in Customs and Border Patrol-collected fees and revenues
to the highway trust fund. Now, CBP revenue collections on freight,
cargo, and passengers include tariffs, duties, taxes, and user fees at
U.S. land, water, and air ports of entry. CBP revenues from these
sources amounted to nearly $46 billion in fiscal year 2015.
