If they go to toll roads or, like Oregon, to metering (did that ever go past proposal), shouldn’t they then drop gas taxes and other taxes that were supposed to pay for the roads and were instead used elsewhere?
If they use VMT, they should indeed drop the gas tax. Tolling some roads to build and maintain all roads, however, would merely create resentment among toll road users for people who strictly use free roads, paying nothing, so in that case, keeping the gas tax FOR “FREE” ROADS ONLY would be prudent.
