Virginia transportation (question 4)

The DC metro area has the worst traffic in the nation. This causes thousands of lost man hours, which equates to lots of lost money. The problem is getting the money to improve transportation while not raising taxes too much. One possible solution is to raise the gas prices. Virginia gas prices haven't been raised since 1986 and are much lower than any other industrialized countries gas tax. Whatever happens has to be done soon because Virginia is running out of funding for transportation and transportation is a vital ingredient in keeping our economy running.
