The objective is to replace the current system for revenue collection
The
Road User Fee Task Force will
meet July 26, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. via video call and
teleconference. To join the meeting, call 1-971-277-1965; at the prompt, enter this access code: 669 121 37#. Task Force's objective is to develop a design for revenue collection for Oregon’s roads and highways that will replace the current system for revenue collection, which is a per-gallon fuel tax. The replacement will almost certainly be some sort of per-mile tax.
The task force will discuss the development of road usage charge legislation which is being proposed for the upcoming legislative session. It will also consider the financial impacts of road use charges on urban and rural households, including an analysis of Oregon and how it compares to other participating states.
According to the announcement put out by the Oregon Department of Transportation, Road User Fee Task Force members value information and feedback from the public. People who wish to speak or write to the task force on any topic - including items not on the current agenda - are encouraged sign up to provide testimony by emailing the request to OfficeInnovation@odot.oregon.gov.
