Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) is co-sponsoring the UPDATE Act, which would increase the federal gas tax by 15 cents over the next three years to help pay for infrastructure improvements across the nation. The measure was originally sponsored by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.). Larsen has become the 35th co-sponsore of the measure.

The UPDATE Act would result in drivers paying 33.4 cents per gallon on gas purchases, in addition to state fuel taxes, to help pay for infrastructure improvements.
