The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 is making progress on its promise for historic investments in America’s roads, bridges, and rails. However, the situation in the U.S, mirrors the experience globally – funding is inadequate to operate, maintain , and modernize transportation assets in need of investment and ongoing funding. As vehicle fuel efficiency improves and electric vehicles grow in prominence on our roadways, the motor fuel taxes that were once the bedrock of transportation funding are no longer sustainable.

Road pricing is already used worldwide to combat congestion and pollution, to compensate for falling revenues from fuel duty (‘gas tax’), to provide an alternative (and fairer) means of charging motorists than the 80-year old fuel tax and to improve the efficiency of and expand transport infrastructure.
