American Highway Users Alliance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Highway Users Alliance (AHUA) is a non-profit advocacy group formed in 1932 representing motorists and automobile-related businesses in the United States. The group supports building roads and streamlining environmental approval for highway construction, claiming that increased capacity will reduce congestion and increase safety for automobile users. It argues that highway improvement needs are extensive and that all fuel and vehicle taxes collected should be returned to motorists in the form of road improvements. The group opposes the diversion of these "user funds" for off-road government programs.
When the last two major U.S. highway bills were authorized, TEA-21 in 1998 and SAFETEA-LU in 2005, the AHUA led transportation groups lobbying for streamlined approval for highway and transit projects. The group regularly publishes reports of the most congested roadways in the country, arguing that increasing mobility in these areas would save lives and reduce greenhouse emissions. Patron members include Ford, General Motors, Goodyear, and AAA.
