What would the rate be for a road user fee?
If a road user fee were to become law, the legislature would determine the per-mile rate. The rate could be flat, treating everyone the same or it could be varied to consider other state policies like environmental issues or urban/rural issues. Options might include charging a lower rate-per-mile for vehicles that achieve a certain level of fuel efficiency, for motorists that avoid rush hour zones, or for those making other environmentally friendly decisions. In the Road User Fee Pilot Program, a rate of 1.2 cents per mile was used, which is equivalent to the current gas tax.
