Book Description
"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 authorized 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 consideration and viability of road user charges based on mileage."--Preface.

Book Description
This primer presents some promising and innovative mileage fee system designs and transition strategies. For states or localities that are considering a transition to mileage fees, awareness of these strategies can help determine whether shifting from fuel taxes to mileage fees merits further consideration. For jurisdictions already engaged in detailed assessments of mileage fees, these concepts can help reduce costs and build public support.

Book Description
The concept of funding surface transportation infrastructure through fees charged on miles driven has been receiving growing attention from transportation professionals and researchers in recent years. Highway funding in the United States has traditionally been done through user fees, most notably motor vehicle fuel taxes. However, there are growing concerns among some policymakers that fuel taxes are no longer adequate, sustainable, efficient, or equitable. Entities in the United States and abroad have conducted pilot projects or implemented mileage-based fees, including several specifically designed for heavy trucks. There are two major concerns related to truck travel: (1) heavy trucks consume a great deal of roadway capacity due to their size, operating characteristics, and annual miles traveled; and (2) roadway wear and tear caused by the combination of truck mileage and heavy loads is significant and disproportionate to the number of trucks on the road. The concept of mileage-based user fees has seen increasing support from a number of groups in recent years; however, it faces opposition from many in the general public and from the trucking industry. This paper is part of a larger effort exploring the benefits to the freight industry of mileage-based user fees, while highlighting industry concerns over its implementation.

Book Description
As vehicles become more fuel efficient, fuel taxes are producing less revenue for road construction, operations and maintenance. As a consequence, states are exploring replacing these taxes with other user-based revenue sources, such as mileage-based road user charges, also referred to as vehicle-miles-traveled fees. These approaches may also have the benefit of reducing highway congestion if pricing is varied by level of congestion. The commercial freight industry agrees that distance-based pricing, especially as it relates to congestion pricing, has system management and revenue benefits for transportation agencies but is skeptical about benefits to the industry and believes such fees will be more costly than current fuel taxes.
