The Dawn Of OReGO And Pay-By-Mile

Oregon Department of Transportation

Welcome to the age of what comes AFTER gasoline taxes.

Fuel taxes pay for road repair and maintenance... or did. 

The advent of hybrid and straight-electric vehicles reduces per-capita fuel consumption, and road funds with it.

OreGO's Michelle Godfrey explains how the program works, and what is required of participants.
