A RESOLUTION RESTRICTING THE USE OF DEDICATED
TRANSPORTATION FUNDS FOR TRANSPORTATION
PURPOSES AND IN SUPPORT OF H. R. 842, TRUTH IN
TRANSPORTATION BUDGETING ACT
WHEREAS, one of the greatest challenges facing all levels of local, state, and federal
government today and well into the next century is the continued cost of providing a safe,
efficient highway transportation system; and
WHEREAS, the federal transportation program is comprised of revenue sources which finance
a dedicated trust fund for use for transportation purposes which cannot be used for other
purposes; and
WHEREAS, due to growing debt, both at the state and federal level, transportation funds have
been used to help offset federal debt and state criminal justice costs; and
WHEREAS, the long -term benefit from current capital investment for transportation extends well
beyond twenty years and is more cost efficient at today's transportation infrastructure construction
costs; and
WHEREAS, the future economic growth of Texas must be supported by adequately maintained
transportation infrastructure systems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Euless, Texas
does hereby support restricting the use of dedicated transportation funds for transportation
purposes and further supports the passage of U.S. Congress H. R. 842, Truth in Transportation
Budgeting Act.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Council of the City of Euless, Texas, and effective on
