Caltrans pilot program tests replacing gas tax with charging per mile driven
Briefly

Maintaining roadways costs $8-9 billion a year, mainly funded by gas taxes. With 1.2M electric vehicles in California, gas tax revenue is declining.
Proposed California Road Charge would tax drivers based on mileage to bridge revenue gap. Various tracking methods available for mileage monitoring.
Program tests starting in June for volunteers to participate, tracking miles, filling surveys, potentially earning up to $400. Final decision rests with state Legislature.
