ROAD USAGE CHARGING TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGES

The growth of Electric Cars is severely impacting States on Fuel Tax incomes, enforcing Departments of Transportation to identify new income streams.

Pandemics impacted on a lower use of cars during some time and later,  pushed the increase of Remote Jobs with the same consequence, a lower collection of Fuel Tax.

Here is where Road Usage Charging looks like an attractive New Income Stream for Departments of Transportation.

Reality shows that, beyond impacts on Fuel Taxes, States need Flexible and Efficient Mechanisms to ensure the necessary New Incomes to support Departments of Transportation funded by Registration Fees, Usage Charges, High-Emissions Cars, Parking, Tolling or other creative ways to support Road Maintenance.
