| 摘要： | In Minnesota, as with virtually all other states, the motor fuel tax is the primary method for collecting road user charges. In addition, a significant portion of revenue is collected through motor vehicle registration fees which vary with the sale price and age of the vehicle. Although registration fees have grown in recent years, the rate of increase in motor-fuel consumption has fallen short of the increase in vehicle miles traveled due to increasingly efficient vehicles. This problem will likely be exacerbated in the future with demands for increased efficiency and as more vehicles are developed which use alternative sources of energy. One proposal to create a more optimal user fee system is a concept called the Mileage Based Tax (MBT). A primary motivation for a MBT is to close the widening gap between fuel consumption and vehicle miles of travel. Under such a concept revenue would increase in direct proportion to increased travel. The MBT, like other taxes, could be indexed to inflation thereby helping to assure that revenues keep pace with costs. Coupled with advanced electronics now becoming commonplace in motor vehicles the MBT may also be utilized to vary charges by type of vehicle, time of day, and route of travel. Primary challenges for the MBT concept are in the area of public acceptance and technical aspects of implementation. |
