The Fed can collect what they need for public transportation and interstate.
The States can collect their own gasoline tax for their own needs.
Who knows more about what is needed for a State's road system and infrastructure,Washington or the States? Obvious.

Seems like they do it like this already.
The Fed could tax less and have increased oversight into State funded projects...you'd still have controlling.
If the States increased their taxes to compensate...you'd still be costly.
Perhaps with a little better oversight and no bridges to nowhere pork you could make the system a bit more efficient.
