Don’t you think the ones who use it should pay for it?

If you use it===> then you should pay for it
If you don’t use it ===> then you shouldn’t pay for it
If you pay for it ===> then you should be able to use it
If you don’t pay for it ===> then you shouldn’t be able to use it

What we have now is

If you use it===> then you should pay for it
If you don’t use it ===> then you should pay for it
If you pay for it ===> then you should pay more to be able to use it
If you don’t pay for it ===> then you should be able to use it

Ok, lets pull toll booths on every road in Virginia, drop the state tax on gas. I am in.
We need some common sense here. We all use most every road at one time or another and rather than carry around $50 in quarters, we pay for our roads thru taxes. When the FAA built Dulles, they told virginia what they were doing and that their prediction was there would be tremendous development in the Dulles corridor. The FAA offered to build extra lanes to let commuters use the road if Virginia would help pay for the road and Virginia said up yours, so we have the mess we have today.
