The 55% of HTF pays for the 4% (approx) of the roads (NHS, including the Interstate)...and the state gas tax pays for the other 96 percent of state roads.
It is those 4% of the roads/highways in the NHS that are most critical to the economy and thus are included in the HTF.
When the HTF is depleted those state-administered roads in the NHS suffer the consequences.
