Episode Details

Indianapolis is rolling out a bold new tax plan to fix its crumbling roads—charging drivers $100 for cars and motorcycles, $240 for larger vehicles, aiming to raise $855 million by 2031 to rebuild residential streets and alleys. While it won’t magically erase every pothole or bridge, this investment targets long-term stability, with hopes of unlocking $50 million in state matching funds if approved by 2027. Officials stress that while the cost is tough to swallow amid inflation, it’s a necessary step to avoid even bigger expenses later—and could eventually fund $200 million annually for roads and neighborhoods.
