MITA tells state lawmakers $3.9 billion a year needs to go to road repairs

LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association is telling state lawmakers they need to put $3.9 billion a year into fixing roads.

That is the figure that MITA officials say will put the state on the path to improving all roads to fair or good condition.

House Speaker Matt Hall of Richland is calling for $3.1 billion to be spent every year in his most recent road funding proposal.

Lawmakers have not taken a vote on Hall’s road funding plan at this point.
