The states should create and maintain their own roads without subsidies from the Feds.This will also prevent the states from overbuilding highways that are not needed.

As far as private companies running our highways and roadways that would be a non-starter with most of the states I’m sure.

I have heard of No privately maintained highway system anywhere in the U.S. So far.Most of the time they a quasi-public organizations like the M.T.A. In New York City and New York State.

Just look at the condition of their roads.All of that money gets transferred to airports,Railroads,ports and subway facilities while the roads and highways go to hell.

That’s still socialism.

Isn’t it bad enough that the states took over the public transit systems, in just about all cases because they wanted control over them? Why should they be trusted with the road systems?

Exactly! States would think twice about allowing outward sprawl and, instead, focus on redeveloping areas already well-connected.
