So, does the state also get to tax you on miles driven in other states?
How will they tax the people living in Kansas that have their vehicles tagged in Oregon Will the miles they drive on Kansas roads be calculated?
One solution would be stations you go to when you renew your license where the mileage is recorded? That of course
creates other problems. For example service people who have licensed Oregon cars stationed elsewhere.
Here is another link showing more explanations which has two videos. One shows DOT's feel good PSA, and another
exposing what is going on: It’s Here: Oregon First State to Launch “Pay-by-the-Mile” Driving Track and Tax Scheme
Oregon State University was receiving federal grants to engineer this. The first one was around $400,000 & then there were several follow-on grants. They really want to be able to add a GPS, the stated intent being to charge higher rates on roads that have higher maintenance costs, like the mountain passes. Still, that would give them info on every place every driver goes. No thanks!
Another “moral high ground” commie taxation and control operation. Not rich? Sorry, you will have to live in the city and use the criminal, racist, stinky and crammed buses. They will tax gas like they taxed tobacco or worse. Agenda 21 in action.
