The state House's vote to slowly raise gasoline taxes over time if prices increase has senators asking: Is it enough to fix Michigan's deteriorating roads?

FILE - This Nov. 8, 2011 file photo shows the vast lawn in front of Beverly Hills High School. Tentative plans call for drilling a subway tunnel 70 feet beneath the campus. Los Angeles' growing public transit network is receiving another big dose of cash from the federal government. Federal and local transportation officials are set to sign grant and loan agreements Wednesday, May 21, 2014, totaling $2.1 billion, so that the L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority can extend a subway line into Beverly Hills and, if several lawsuits are settled, all the way to the west side. One of the lawsuits concerns the subway's routing near the high school. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon, File)

A cyclist stops at the corner where one of the many stops for the M-1 Rail is planned at Woodward Avenue and Mack Avenue in Detroit on Monday, May 19, 2014. Officials say Detroit's $140 million light passenger rail project is moving forward toward an expected summer groundbreaking. Officials haven't said exactly when the groundbreaking will take place. Below-ground utility relocation began late last year for the 3.3-mile project. The streetcar line is to start running along Detroit's Woodward Avenue in 2016.
