Inside the 2700+ page bill that was passed. There was funding allocated to go towards pilot driving mileage tax programs. Which means if you drive a car, you get taxed on the number of miles you drive.
A vehicle mileage tax, or vehicle miles traveled fee, would charge motorists a fee based on how many miles they drive. Simply put, if you drive a vehicle, you would pay money to the government for every mile you drive.
The infrastructure bill includes $125 million to fund pilot programs to test a national vehicle miles traveled fee.
I hope to god the programs don’t get expanded. However apparently 2 states already do this, Washington and California.
I don’t know but this is my first time hearing about these kinds of programs and I’m kinda shocked because they’re basically giving another giant middle finger to the working class.
