More Americans drive electric vehicles, forcing transportation leaders to rethink roadway funding.
The roads we rely on face a funding crisis. Decades of reliance on gas taxes are faltering as electric vehicle adoption surges and fuel efficiency improves. A sustainable solution is needed to maintain and develop vital infrastructure.
A clear answer emerges: road usage charging (RUC). This model shifts from taxing fuel by the gallon to charging motorists per mile driven, providing a fairer, data-driven and predictable revenue stream.
In this "In Motion" conversation, our experts discuss the rise of RUC, its current implementation and the implications of the new federal RUC advisory board. Mileage-based user fees are poised to become a national standard, ensuring our transportation networks are funded for the future.
