I got a survey in the mail from HiRUC "Hawaii Road Usage Charge Demonstration". I haven't taken the survey yet but they are polling me to request public opinion on replacing the gas tax with a per-mileage usage charge. They used my mileage from recent safety inspection and summarized that I'm paying $297 in gas taxes annually that would be $232 with a usage fee.
Before I took the survey I wanted to make sure I was considering all points. If I missed any please chime in:
* Deleted this because I was thinking of registration fees.
* I drive 5 miles a day on private roads. Neither the gas tax or the usage fee helps me there.
* EV vehicles would be paying their fair share of road infrastructure.
What have I missed?
