Summary:

Some Members of Congress believe that the transportation trust funds should be viewed independently of other federal programs, and that federal transportation program spending should closely track revenues collected for the funds. Other members of Congress believe that the transportation trust funds must be viewed as components of the entire federal budget and not as a separate element of the budget.
