  1. Oregon’s Road User Fee Pilot ProgramPresented toInternational Fuel Tax Agreement Managers’ Workshop September 2006PowerPoint Presentation provided by: James Whitty, ManagerOffice of Innovative Partnershipsand Alternative Funding

  2. Road User Fee Task Force Legislative Mandate: “To develop a design for revenue collection for Oregon’s roads and highways that will replace the current system for revenue collection.”

  3. Effect of New Technology Vehicles on Highway Fund Revenue

  4. Conclusion In the future, gas tax revenue will not be the primary source for funding our roads.

  5. A Solution: The Mileage Fee • A per-mile charge based on Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) within a state • Replaces fuel tax for participating motorists

  6. Collection Possibilities Human Data Gathering Centralized Electronic Collection Collection at Fueling Stations

  7. Cost of Start Up and Operations Collection Enforcement Integration with Current Fuel Tax Collection System System Redundancy Ease of Use by Motoring Public Structural Issues with Mileage Fee Collection

  8. Oregon’s Mileage Fee Concept

  9. The Concept A per-mile charge based on miles driven within Oregon by zone. Zone 1 = in state Zone 2 = out of state Optional Zone 3 = rush hour Zone 4 = local option

  10. VMT collected electronically by zone Characteristics of Collection

  11. Mileage Transfer VMT transmitted electronically at fueling stations VMT data transfer from vehicles when fueling Communication is short range!

  12. Mileage fee imposed as part of fuel purchase Fuel tax deducted from fuel purchase price Characteristics of Collection Gas to Go Commercial Rd., OR May 15, 2006 – 8:00 AM 13.5gal @ 205.5 27.74 State tax disc.

  14. Rush Hour : 50.6 In Oregon : 1,200.7 Non Oregon: 100.0 No Signal : 0.9 Mileage Allocation 31 zones Vehicle Display

  15. Fuel tax maintained for non-equipped vehicles Mileage fee integrates with fuel tax collection system Oregon’s weight-mile tax retained for heavy trucks Allows rush hour pricing Key Features

  16. Cost of Full Implementation Service Stations • Capital costs (Oregon): $33 million • Annual operating costs (Oregon): $1.6 million Vehicles • No retrofitting • Components installed during vehicle manufacture

  17. Privacy • No vehicle location data stored in vehicle • No data transferred except mileage totals within zones • Data transferred only at time of fueling via short range radio frequency

  18. Retrofitting cost versus long phase-in Setting mileage fee rate Interstate system standardization and revenue allocation 4. Integration with federal solution Policy Issues Remaining

  19. Road User Fee Pilot ProgramMarch 2006-April 2007

  20. Oregon’s Pilot Program Purpose: To test technology and system Time Line: June 2006 – March 2007 for Full Pilot Pre-Pilot: Preliminary control technology test √ completed Warm Up: 20-vehicle managed start at fueling stations √ completed Full Pilot: Point-of-sale system installed at fueling stations √ completed 280 vehicles pay mileage fee in lieu of gas tax  Nov ‘06 Portion of volunteers in Rush Hour Pricing  Nov ‘06

  24. System Integration: No change in gas tax collection Wholesale DistributionIndustry Wholesale Level $ Gas Tax $ Cost of fuel +gas tax reimbursement ODOT Retail Station

  25. System Integration: Consumers pay either gas tax or mileage fee, not both Retail Station Consumer Level $ gas tax +fuel cost $ Mileage Fee + fuel cost Non-mileage fee vehicle Mileage Fee Vehicle

  26. System Integration: Tax data periodically run through a “true-up” calculation by ODOT ODOT Retail Station Gallon & tax data • If fuel taxes + mileage fees collected are less than 24 cents per gallon paid for fuel, ODOT remits the difference • If total fuel taxes + mileage fees collected exceed 24 cents per gallon paid for fuel, ODOT sends a bill for the balance due

  27. System Integration • Bulk of revenue stream remains at distributor level (fewer taxpayers) • Mileage fee gradually becomes predominant Retain current multi-state anti-evasion processes Fuel tax retained as redundant system to guard against system failure and tampering
