user fees are a good thing
***************************************
Every vehicle owner pays “user fees” each year through the requirement for annual registration of their vehicle.

Where does that money go and where is it being spent?

gas taxes and registration pays less than 1/2 of maintenance of highways. Highway expansion always comes out of general funds.

I’d argue the best solution is eliminate gas taxes and fully privatize all interstates. Let the free market reign, you’d soon see costs drop and quality increase.

Local streets are typically paid through property taxes so they’d be uneffected by any change in this system.
