Starting in 2022, volunteers from all 50 states will be asked to participate in a three-year program, which will track how much they drive using a telematics device installed in their car.
Both personal and commercial vehicles will be asked to take part in the pilot. Based on their mileage, volunteers will be asked to pay a “vehicle mileage” tax once a quarter.
For this initial pilot program, volunteers will be fully reimbursed for any fees they pay. In other words, they won’t really owe anything—they’d just get an idea of how much they would owe, in a hypothetical future in which a mileage tax is a reality.
