Federal gas taxes, unchanged since 1993, fail to cover rising costs, while states struggle with deferred repairs and limited revenue. Road conditions have declined, with significant variation between states.

Potholes across the U.S. highlight aging infrastructure and funding shortages for states and cities. Federal gas taxes, unchanged since 1993, have not kept up with inflation or vehicle efficiency, exacerbating maintenance challenges. States are using federal infrastructure funds but still face gaps, with 20% of roadways rated in poor condition nationwide.

Potholes across the U.S. highlight underfunded infrastructure maintenance as states and cities struggle with aging roads, rising costs, and limited revenue. Gas taxes, which have not kept up with inflation or vehicle efficiency, remain a key funding source, while new technologies like AI are being explored for repairs. Federal infrastructure funding has increased, but demand still outpaces available resources.
