How would they tax out of staters?
Proposals to tax cars per mile are being considered in various states, with the aim of stabilizing transportation funding as fuel-tax revenue declines. Here are some key points regarding these proposals:
California’s AB 1421: This bill aims to study and pilot per-mile charges, with critics warning it could layer a mileage tax on top of existing gas taxes.

Oregon’s OReGO Program: A voluntary per-mile fee program that charges volunteer participants a fee with fuel-tax credits and experiments with different data-collection methods.

Washington, Michigan, and others: These states have looked at opt-in pilots and hybrid approaches that allow EV drivers to choose mileage billing instead of flat registration fees.

Illinois: State lawmakers are considering a vehicle miles traveled tax to raise more money from motorists, with a focus on tracking a driver’s movement or sending a photo of the odometer.

These proposals are part of a broader effort to find sustainable funding solutions for road maintenance as the transportation landscape evolves.
