The organization Building America's Future commissioned a study showing
that 81 percent of Americans said they are prepared to pay 1 percent in
taxes to rebuild the nation's infrastructure if the money is spent well.
Survey of 800 people; they said their biggest concern was accountability.
We mentioned it in our March or April 2009 issue.

Subject: Needed: Surveys on public perception of freight movement
Does anyone know of any examples of surveys conducted on the federal,
state, or MPO level that focused on the general public's perception or
understanding of the (public) significance to the economy, environment, and
safety on the efficent movement of freight by all modes? When crafting a
message to the average taxpayer on why public funding for freight
infrastructure is important, we should know in advance what their perception
is, in order to craft a more direct and convincing message.
