States consider switching from fuel taxes to mileage-based charges.

As fuel taxes decline due to the rise of electric vehicles, some US states are considering charging drivers based on the miles they drive instead of the amount of fuel they consume. This mileage-based fee system could help generate revenue for infrastructure projects, but concerns about privacy and vehicle tracking have been raised. Some states have already implemented pilot programs to test the feasibility of this system.

Mileage-based fees considered as fuel taxes decline.

States are exploring alternative ways to fund transportation projects as gas taxes generate less revenue due to inflation, fuel efficiency, and the rise of electric cars. One proposal gaining popularity is charging drivers by the mile instead of the gallon. Other ideas include taxing electricity from public vehicle charging stations and adding charges to door-to-door package deliveries. Only three states are currently generating revenue from road usage charges, but the federal government is set to pilot its own program. There is growing support for mileage-based fees, special rates for low-income drivers, and rates tied to vehicle pollution.
