California is again looking for drivers to test a new system that would replace the gas tax with a more reliable funding source.
California officials are still trying to figure out how to pay for road repairs and maintenance in the not-so-distant future, when electric vehicles dominate the roadways and gas tax revenue dries up. So they're offering drivers up to $400 to test a couple of alternatives for six months, starting in August. Road improvements are financed mainly through the state's comparatively high excise tax on fuels .
Prehoda said the latest pilot program — the fourth focused on this issue — will test two payment models: a flat per-mile rate or an individualized rate based on a vehicle's fuel efficiency. “This time it's unique because in the past we haven’t actually collected money,' Prehoda said. She said they are focused on testing the collection process, but will be looking to ensure the process is easy for drivers, reliable for the state and equitable for all Californians.
