Democrat-run states want to monitor automobile mileage to reduce car use, raise revenue

[excalibur]

And in Massachusetts they call this proposed bill 'The Freedom to Move Act'.

When in fact it is less freedom to move.

Ohm, and since EVs are heavier, we need to tax them too.

...

Massachusetts lawmakers are weighing a bill that would move the state closer to a net-zero carbon emissions mandate by expanding public transportation and developing a plan to reduce car trips.

The Freedom to Move Act calls for the Bay State to track emissions and car miles traveled and develop “a reasonable pathway” to statewide vehicle mileage reduction goals that would be developed by an interagency committee headed by the state’s transportation secretary.

...

The Massachusetts proposal, according to Ms. Creem’s summary of her bill, is based on laws and regulations in Colorado and Minnesota, where Democratic-led legislatures have passed bills to reduce transportation sector emissions, including targeted reductions in tailpipe emissions, to align with climate goals.

...

Minnesota tracks vehicle miles traveled with roadside sensors and data modeling.

The state is also experimenting with technology that could be used to implement a mileage-based user fee to reduce car traffic and raise revenue “to close the highway funding gap and ensure everyone is paying their fair share,” the Minnesota Department of Transportation said.

Minnesota is among dozens of states researching or piloting programs to charge fees based on a driver’s vehicle mileage. Many state programs are aimed at making up for gas tax revenue lost by the increase in electric vehicles, which are heavier than gas-powered automobiles and put more stress on roads, bridges and other infrastructure.

Oregon, like Minnesota, seeks to reduce vehicle miles traveled by prioritizing public transit spending over roads, developing communities that are less dependent on cars, and considering usage charges and congestion pricing.

States are advancing plans to monitor your mileage and eventually limit how much you drive.

LOL, amid much fanfare, Spokane introduced double decker buses this past year. They bought a virtual fleet of them while assuring the taxpayers that they had researched every angle of safety. LMAO, this was the result--luckily no one was in the front. Now they have taken them all out of service while they figure out what went wrong. Democrat city council is what went wrong.

Pretty soon the leftist white women will want to start monitoring our stool output.

Well, San Fran Nan said that we had to pass it before we could see what was in it... That is their next step monitor the amount...

Look out for the wearable gas meters that they are going to mask you with. "Oh, you didn't pay your breathing tax! Time to turn off your meter."

Funny how the left want to make it so that only the rich own and drive cars and the poor all have to use public transportation. Since this would effect blacks and other minorities the most, surely this would be called social injustice and racist.

Lol, I would probably save money. If they monitored my boat I would be fucked though.

These pay-by-the-mile taxes are wrong on so many levels. I am surprised they are even being considered. We already pay exorbitant gas tax which is a defacto mileage tax, but car mileages are getting better so they're looking for other ways to subsidize EVs and their damage to the roads. My biggest complaint is if you travel a lot outside of those states, why should my registration be based on miles driven inside the state? I didn't damage those roads. There is no connection between the tax and what that tax pays for.

You mean to tax people into not being able to afford to drive to work, or to get groceries.
Leftists are ******* DISGUSTING.

Thats what leftists like to do. Rape words.

First of all, the future is electric, whether Trump or his sheep like it or not.

Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but electric vehicles don’t pay gas taxes.

You claim we pay “exhorbitant gas taxes”. In fact, they are amongst the lowest in the world.

Not only that, the federal gas tax has been exactly the same since 1993.
Which is a major contributor to our failure to maintain our infrastructure due to consistant and deepening underfunding.

Mileage based taxes on cars will replace as taxes.

But you can get a big kick out of the idiotic outrage you generated over it.

This entire thread is stupid, beyond belief.

Oh, but they can ride the free buses to work and order their groceries delivered to their door. SMH. These leftist have no foresight. Freedom means nothing to them.

Try again while you pull over for your daily fill-up after 300 miles only to find that there are no available outlets or that the area is browned-out. I'll wave as I continue on my way.

Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but electric vehicles don’t pay gas taxes.

They will be paying by the mile---it is about time, but it should be exclusive to EVs.

You claim we pay “exhorbitant gas taxes”. In fact, they are amongst the lowest in the world.

Yeah, I've been hearing you whining democrats using that phony argument for decades. IDGAF what Europe pays for their fuel. I don't live there. It is those cockamamie socialist laws that create those taxes. If you like it so much, pack your stuff. Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.

Mileage based taxes on cars will replace as taxes.

You don't know WTF you're talking about. The tax structure remains unchanged as regards gas taxes. Ignorance isn't a good position to debate from, Timmy.

This entire thread is stupid, beyond belief.

Only to someone that can't think critically or beyond the end of their noses. Sound familiar?

/——/ I’m wondering if the governor and legislative body will be exempt from this heavy handed rule.
