Turns out a gas tax isn’t effective on vehicles that don’t use gas, or are very fuel efficient. That’s the problem lawmakers across the country are reckoning with right now, and many states are trying to address with vehicle miles-traveled (VMT) taxes in an attempt to bolster funding for infrastructure repair.

Currently, there’s an 18.4-cent federal tax on every gallon of gas. That amount hasn’t been raised since 1993, and doesn’t include states’ own taxes.
The VMT proposal appears to be gaining favor in the nation’s capital, according to stories published late last week by Bloomberg and the Washington Post. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg reflected on the value of such a system in late February during an American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials virtual meeting.
