The Coalition issues quarterly newsletters to share findings from our MBUF work, dispel myths about MBUF, and provide updates on MBUF news across the country.
Our analysis showed that several synergies exist between MBUF and tolling. However, there are important considerations that make it challenging to take advantage of these synergies for account managers that are not also tolling providers.
Our 2020-2021 National Truck Pilot highlighted the need for policymakers to understand and leverage existing regulatory frameworks like the International Fuel Tax Agreement and the International Registration Plan. To address this need, we developed a tech memo explaining both.
As policymakers work to balance transportation funding needs with environmental goals, many wonder: Should the fuel tax be replaced with a mileage-based user fee, and should the per-mile rate be based on a vehicle’s fuel economy?
A transportation funding solution must address all road users and understand the unique complexities of each. That’s why our 2020-2021 work explored the impact of a mileage-based user fee (MBUF) approach on both commercial and passenger vehicles, and took on the biggest concerns related to a shift to MBUF: privacy, rural drivers, and the trucking industry.
Coalition Executive Director Dr. Trish Hendren spoke to policymakers about mileage-based user fees (MBUF) and the future of transportation during the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Legislative Summit.
Dr. Hendren emphasized the need for sustainable transportation funding, highlighting the Coalition’s research during its five demonstration pilots featuring 1,300 passenger vehicles and 270 trucks in 14 Eastern states.
