After a measure to increase transportation revenue failed to be approved by voters, Michigan lawmakers passed legislation in November 2015 to increase the state gasoline and diesel fuel taxes to 26.3 cents-per-gallon; tax alternative fuels at the state motor fuel tax rate; establish an alternative fuel dealer license and fee; increase registration fees by 20 percent; and create a new annual fee for electric-powered motor vehicles.
