PUTTING IT IN PARK DRIVES GAS PRICES DOWN

PUTTING IT IN PARK DRIVES GAS PRICES DOWN

There are a lot fewer people on Wisconsin’s roads because of the coronavirus.

A new report from the Wisconsin Policy Forum says traffic across the state has fallen nearly 40 percent during the outbreak. The biggest drops are in the areas where there are the most drivers, meaning in and around Milwaukee and Madison. The report says the steep drop in driving will hurt Wisconsin. The state uses gas tax money to pay for roads, and the report says with fewer people driving fewer miles, there will be less gas tax money.
