New Resource! Road Usage Charge Programs Handout

A Road Usage Charge (RUC) system – also referred to as Vehicles Mile Traveled (VMT), or Mileage-Based User Fee (MBUF)– is a funding method to tax drivers on the miles driven, versus traditional funding formula of fuel consumed. As vehicles become increasingly fuel efficient and the percent of electric vehicles in the passenger fleet grows, states are increasingly exploring this method to ensure all drivers contribute for their use of transportation infrastructure.

ARTBA’s Transportation Investment Advocacy Center has created a one-page guide on road usage charge programs.

This document is part of a series of one-page guides on transportation funding methods. View the TIAC Funding Techniques page for additional handouts.
