The state of Arizona is facing a $1 billion shortfall in highway improvement funding because the shift to electric vehicles has caused fuel-tax revenues to decline. Doug Ducey appointed Maxwell to the state board of transportation to address these funding shortfalls.

Why it matters
The state's Highway User Revenue Fund relies on Arizona’s 18-cent-per-gallon fuel tax for road upkeep. The funding gap is prompting a ballot measure, Proposition 141, which asks voters to decide on prohibiting government entities from imposing a tax or fee based on vehicle miles traveled.
