Media outlets are citing the latest ARTBA-TIAC report in their coverage of how gas tax adjustments impact the price consumers pay at the pump. For example:

  • A Wall Street Journal piece referenced the research in a story detailing how construction and business groups are responding to proposals to temporarily repeal or suspend state gas taxes.
  • NJ.com mentioned the report, which includes a case study of New Jersey’s 2021 gas tax reduction.
  • ARTBA President & CEO Dave Bauer and Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance Executive Vice President Gordon Dixon, in a Richmond Times-Dispatch op-ed, highlighted that “just one-third of an increase or decrease was passed through to consumers in the retail price on the day the change took effect.”
  • Roads & Bridges Magazine also highlighted the same finding.

Other articles referenced ARTBA-TIAC’s 2020 iteration of the report, including a Baltimore Sun editorial  and stories in the Nashville Scene and Charleston Gazette-Mail
