Oh The sheer Joy!
Of living in beautiful blue and green Oregon. It looks like we will be the first state to pay a mileage tax collected through the use of satellite tracking. Of course, I'm sure this will be used only for tax collecting purposes. The state would never use this to track individual travel or measure speed, right?
Oh wait...how can they not track individual travel if this is to be used to determine miles traveled? Oregon to try U.S.'s first mileage-based road tax Just wanted to give a heads up here. Logging off...

Thanks for letting us know you're still around, Paul.
Why don't you ignore the true complainers and stop by a bit more often? |

Is this to be done by GPS satellite or some other means? I could see it being the former, but with some other way it seems a bit expensive/difficult to keep track of.

I'm going to make a wager and bet that this will not " replace " the current gasoline tax, but "augment" it. Taxes never go away , or decrease .
It is the modern world we live in . Hello Paul!

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to just take down current mileage at the vehicles annual safety inspection (if the state has one) for taxing purposes? Seems like a big cash outlay for something that is easy to check yearly by just charging for a window sticker.
Vehicle inspection in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Oregon doesn't seem to have a state wide inspection but other states do.

Yeah, at tag renewal even without an official inspection they could simple ask for a mileage update at renewal.

I suspect some cars will be 'parked with bad batteries'.
Then more legislation and cameras and remote license plate readers and fines and bureaucracy and property taxes to sustain it all. Welcome to California. Home of the watermelon seed. The harder they press down, the faster it zips away. |
