Officials are exploring whether a mileage-based fee would work better than a state gas tax. Volunteers can earn up to $100
A new pilot program is asking New Jersey drivers to track their mileage to explore a new way of funding roads and bridges."This is a data collection exercise," said Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Transportation. "No decisions are being made for New Jersey about how we'll fund transportation, but without data, we can't make good decisions.
And to get that data, about 400 drivers are plugging a small device under their dashboards to keep track of how far they drive.Drivers are plugging this small device under their dashboards to keep track of how far they drive. It's all part of New Jersey's pilot program.Volunteers can earn up to $100, and they'll find out their final mileage tally.
"They'll understand the difference that if they paid fuel tax, they would've paid one amount. If they paid a mileage-based user fee, they would've paid the other," said Gutierrez-Scaccetti.Volunteers must register before midnight on August 31. New Jersey officials say as electric vehicles rise in popularity, a mileage-based fee may be more reliable to fund and repair roads and bridges.
The commissioner said several states are already using a mileage-based user fee on a voluntary basis.
