WHAT IS THE Georgia MBUF Pilot?

To better understand if a Mileage-Based User Fee (MBUF) could work, The Eastern Transportation Coalition (the Coalition), in partnership with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), is conducting a Pilot program for stakeholders to experience an MBUF and to provide feedback regarding what they like and don’t like.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

ENROLL

Enrollment will be open beginning Nov. 1, 2023! You will sign up through Transurban, a technology provider for this Pilot. Since this Pilot is a simulation, you will never be charged any fees nor required to pay anything to participate. Grab your license plate number in advance to make enrollment a breeze!

INSERT

You can select how you want to record your miles when you sign up. You can choose from a plug-in device with or without GPS or in-vehicle telematics without GPS. If a plug-in device is selected, you will receive it in the mail after enrollment is complete. Then, plug it in and drive! Not sure which mileage reporting option (MRO) to select?

The Pilot has strict privacy protection measures to safeguard your data, such as:

  • Limiting the amount of personal information required for participation.
  • Prohibiting the sale of data to any third-party entities.
  • Requiring all personal identification data to be destroyed 30 days after the Pilot completion.
  • All mileage data that will used from the Pilot will be anonymized, meaning it’s not tied to personal information.
  • Giving participants the option to opt out of GPS (location-based) services.
  • Providing a participant agreement that states what data will be collected and how any personal identifiable information will be used and then destroyed.

DRIVE

Drive as you normally do! Your Transurban dashboard will collect and manage your daily mileage and fuel use through February 2024.

In addition, you will receive monthly statements to show how many miles you drive and the cost difference between a traditional fuel tax and an MBUF approach. No actual money is involved or exchanged.

RETURN

If you opt in to receive a plug-in device (with or without GPS) as your preferred MRO, return the device in early March 2024 (instructions will come with the device).

If you opted for in-vehicle telematics, you don’t need to worry about this step.

Participants will be sent a Final Participant Survey shortly after the Pilot is completed in March 2024.
