ALERT!! Mass Considers Pilot Program to Tax Per Mile
SEMA ALERT!
Massachusetts Considers Pilot Program to Tax Cars for Miles Traveled
This WILL have National Repercussions So Act, even if you do not live in Mass, just leave that tidbit out of your email and PLEASE BE POLITE.
Being Rude or Offensive will NOT HELP.
These are the people who will decide the Bill's Fate, so We Want Them to be Our Friends and Kill the Bill in Committee!.
Legislation (H.B. 3142) to establish a pilot program to impose a vehicle mileage user fee administered by the Department of Transportation was introduced in Massachusetts. This bill is intended to supplement the gas tax and implement alternative ways to raise transportation revenue for the state. Under the bill, the Department must report to the legislature on the feasibility of permanently assessing a vehicle mileage user fee. The pilot program would include at least 1,000 drivers of trucks, passenger and commercial vehicles.
These drivers would have on-board vehicle-mileage-counting equipment installed on their vehicles which can report the number of miles traveled.
Payments would be collected from participants.
We Urge You to Contact the Joint Transportation Committee Members (List Below) Immediately To Request Their Opposition to H.B. 3142
• H.B. 3142 seeks to penalize national efforts to create a more fuel efficient vehicle fleet. As gas tax revenues decrease due to hybrid and electric vehicle ownership, states are looking for new sources of funding for pet projects.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the Massachusetts Joint Transportation Committee immediately to request their opposition to H.B. 3142.

Re: ALERT!! Mass Considers Pilot Program to Tax Per Mile
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, Democrat-Ore., has a solution: increase the federal tax on gasoline and diesel by 15 cents per gallon,
and then turn toward a new approach to taxing miles driven rather than gasoline used. Blumenauer’s tax increase would raise around $170 billion over 10 years, he estimates....
