establishing the commission to study revenue alternatives to the road toll, road toll registration charges, and revenue alternatives to vehicle registration fees to fund highway and bridge improvements.
This bill establishes a commission to study ways to replace the current road toll and vehicle registration fees as sources of funding for highway and bridge improvements. The commission will be composed of legislators, state agency representatives, and members from the automotive and non-profit sectors, with the specific goal of examining how electric, hybrid, and fuel-efficient vehicles should contribute to infrastructure costs. The group is tasked with analyzing the environmental impact of these technologies, reviewing past studies, and recommending new revenue methods by December 2026. Once the commission completes its work, it will submit a final report to state officials with any proposed legislation to replace the existing toll system.
