A mileage-based road user charge would involve assessing owners of
individual vehicles on a per-mile basis for the distance the
vehicle is driven. Currently, federal highway and public
transportation programs are funded mainly by motor fuel tax
receipts that flow into the Highway Trust Fund (HTF). The tax
rates, set on a per-gallon basis, have not been raised since 1993,
and receipts have been insufficient to support the transportation
programs authorised by Congress since FY2008. The long-term
viability of motor fuels taxes is also questionable because of
increasing vehicle fuel efficiency and the wider use of electric
vehicles. Economists have favored the use of mileage-based user
charges as an alternative to motor fuels taxes to support highway
funding. This book examines considerations and viability of road
user charges based on mileage.
