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.
New findings from our passenger vehicle pilots show that user fees offer a workable solution for transportation funding—but public opinion must first be addressed.
The presentation focused on important takeaways from the Coalition’s work in North Carolina, which includes statewide surveys, passenger pilots, commercial truck pilots, and analyses of the impact of MBUF on North Carolina households.
Learn how our pilot participants are test-driving the technology that could shape the future of MBUF reporting.
