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.
