According to Joseph Kile's prepared testimony before the Committee on Finance, United States Senate, May 17, 2011, the total U.S. spend on roadways (local, county, state, and federal) is approximately $160 billion per year.  Of this amount, approximately $40 billion is from the federal government. All the monies spent on highways in the United States ultimately come from the taxpayers or the overseas folks foolish enough to keep lending us money. It does not arise from thin air, although it can be created with the touch of a computer key and ultimately monetized away. The core problem for transportation (all modes) is the users don't see the true cost of their mode at the price point, i.e. pump, ticket counter, etc., and, therefore, depending on the mode, tend to over or under use it. The best fix is to stop subsidizing all modes.
