Summary
The Highway Trust Fund--the major source of federal road and bridge funding--is largely supported by gas taxes. This revenue is decreasing as fuel economy standards increase and more alternative fuel vehicles travel the roads. A Federal Highway Administration program provides funding for states to pilot alternatives to gas tax revenues. Most states chose to test systems that charge for road use per mile driven. For example, California used its funding to test mileage-tracking technologies. However, FHWA hasn't determined how, if at all, the state projects funded by this program might inform a national policy. We recommended doing so.
