INDIANAPOLIS — A bill with bipartisan support would give Indianapolis about $8 million more a year to go towards fixing the city's roads. The money is coming from the gas tax Hoosiers pay.
Fixing deteriorated roads is something the author of the bill, State Sen. Aaron Freeman, says is one of his constituent's biggest priorities. If SB 283 is signed by the Governor, the city says they will build the extra funding into the 2024 budget. They will also make room for it in their 4 year plan with DPW. Both of those are submitted to the City County Council.
Parker says in order to get the bill out of the committee, the city had to agree to use 65% of all gas tax money they receive to fix roads in Marion County. This means they cannot use that money for any other infrastructure upgrades.
