- Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982
The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 was the federal legislation championed by the Reagan administration to address concerns about the surface transportation infrastructure (highways and bridges). The Act added a nickel to the gas tax (the first such increase since 1961) which was then dedicated to restore interstate highways and bridges. The Act also set a goal of 10 percent for participation of disadvantaged business enterprises in federal-aid projects.
