URGENT: Tomorrow, Friday 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. March 22 at Wilcox Elementary Cafeteria, Lihue the Hawaii Department of Transportation is seeking the public’s feedback on the concept of a road usage charge system. The system proposed will de-incentivize clean transportation. The gas tax has been around for decades because it works. It generates billions in revenue for roads and gives taxpayers power over increases. A mileage tax could deteriorate this clear and fair system.
The numbers don't even add up in California, where 4.7 percent of the 2 million cars sold in 2016 were hybrids and 1.9 percent of them were electric, and much less here. The CA fee on electric cars is expected to bring in just $200 million over the next decade. By comparison, the 12-cent-a-gallon increase in the gasoline tax will generate $24.4 billion and a “transportation improvement fee” assessed on a sliding scale on all vehicles (based on their cost) will bring in about $16.3 billion. Goran Rad Juno Ann Apalla Andy Kass Nadya Penoff please let's try to further share this, comment on it and show up to the meeting if at all possible.

Hawaii transportation officials consider swapping gas tax for road-use charge

Imagine if drivers in Hawaii paid per mile of road used instead of paying fuel tax at the pump.

What's up in Hawaii... don't we have 100% renewable by 45 and a clean transport mandate, and commitments? Sounds like now we are backtracking badly with a new EV road tax planned, right after trying for a bill to limit the free airport parking to 4 hours. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the end of the solar tax credit, which passed a week or so ago.

Just once can the media actually do more research and at least try to get an EV Owners perspective before running a story like this?
