New pilot program California Plan CHARGES Drivers Per Mile

California is launching a pilot program called the “Road Charge” that aims to charge drivers a fee based on the number of miles they drive, rather than the traditional gas tax. Here are the key details:

• The program will run for 6 months with 800 volunteer participants selected across the state.
• Participants will pay a per-mile fee (potentially 2-4 cents per mile) instead of the state gas tax. The exact rate has not been determined yet.
• Mileage can be tracked via an electronic device, the vehicle’s built-in system, or by submitting odometer readings.
• Participants will receive credits or refunds for any gas taxes paid during the pilot, as well as partial credits for electric vehicle registration fees.

The program aims to study a potential replacement for the gas tax, as revenue from that source is declining due to more fuel-efficient and electric vehicles on the road. Proponents argue a per-mile fee is a more equitable way to fund road maintenance based on actual road usage. Critics slam the idea as a cash grab in the making.
