Beyond the Pump: Rethinking Transportation Funding Without the Fuel Tax

15th Annual Mineta National Transportation Policy Summit

10:00a.m - 12:00p.m. (PT) | Link to Register.

While the climate benefits from booming electric vehicle sales, the nation’s transportation system faces an unfortunate predicament: less gasoline and diesel purchased means dwindling fuel tax revenue. Fuel tax revenue provides a core funding source for operating, maintaining, and improving transportation systems, so policymakers must find a replacement as soon as possible. This event explores such options as mileage fees, higher annual vehicle fees, or abandoning the user-pay principle and relying on general fund revenue.
