policymakers, the automotive industry, and the drivers alike. On this episode of Driving Forward,
host Andrew Stasiowski speaks with John Bozzella, President and CEO of the Alliance for
Automotive Innovation, to demystify the complexities around EV adoption and regulation.

John shares insights into regulatory policy shaping the current EV market, what this means for
the Highway Trust Fund, and the future of highly automated vehicles. John says the key to a
successful and sustainable EV market in the U.S. involves striking a balance that promotes
consumer choice while better supporting American automotive manufacturers.

Today’s guest, Eno Transportation Weekly Editor Jeff Davis, says solving this funding issue is past due. He says the program has effectively been out of money since September 2008 — the federal government has been transferring upwards of $272 billion in the years since to keep the fund afloat. Jeff says that the best time to address the fund’s budget issues is now.

For nearly 20 years, the Highway Trust Fund has been running increasingly larger annual deficits due to increased costs and declining revenue generated by the taxes which fund it.  This shortfall has been plugged with an increasingly larger share of general fund money, and it is clear that the path for the Highway Trust Fund is unsustainable.  With the current Highway Bill set to expire in 2026, there is a real opportunity to reform the Highway Trust Fund and replace it with a more sustainable solution.


Today’s guest is Andrew Okuyiga, the Vice President of Public Affairs at UPS. He says this deficit is due in large part to the nation’s gas and diesel taxes remaining stagnant since 1993. He tells host Andrew Stasiowski that the uncertainty in the Highway Trust Fund makes it difficult for states to plan or commit to infrastructure projects, as they don’t know if there will be money to finish the project in a few years’ time. This could add delays, which Okuyiga says will harm the supply chain and ultimately raise the price of everyday goods.

On this episode of Driving Forward, host Andrew Stasiowski is joined by Nile Elam, the Vice President of Government Affairs for the National Asphalt Pavement Association, to talk about innovations in this important area of transportation.


Nile explains that increasing recycled asphalt usage by just 1 percent would be the equivalent of taking 25,000 cars off the road – greatly contributing to reducing yearly greenhouse gas emissions. But Nile says the asphalt industry needs better long-term funding, as well as permitting reform to insure projects are done on time and within budget.
