Title:

Discerning the Pathway to Implementation of a National Mileage-Based Charging System
Cover of Discerning the Pathway to Implementation of a National Mileage-Based Charging System

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Monograph

Abstract:

This paper was commissioned to do three things. First, develop and propose concepts for research and demonstration programs to test the technical and political feasibility of road use metering and mileage charging. Second, develop and expand upon the recommendations of TRB Special Report 285: "The Fuel Tax and Alternatives for Transportation Funding" for creating a structure to support the conduct of trials or pilot projects by individual states with federal leadership and funding aid. Third, develop cost estimates for the demonstrations and related research to design and implement the trials. The authors present this paper in two parts. The authors intend Part One to facilitate understanding among policymakers and researchers of the decision making necessary for constructing an acceptable mileage charging system and, further, to present the mileage charging system development already accomplished and the research in progress or completed. Part Two proposes additional research to fill knowledge gaps and obtain the data and information necessary for policymakers and researchers to reach a knowledge level for the opportunity at hand sufficient to enable legislative action.
