Highway Cost Study: New Road Funding Rules

This act requires the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a study to determine the costs of highway use by different types of vehicles. The goal is to find fair ways to fund highways, ensuring that user fees cover the expenses. This could impact future road tolls or vehicle-related taxes.
Key points
The study will determine highway maintenance costs based on vehicle type (e.g., weight, size).
Results will inform new fee proposals to make the highway fund self-sustaining.
The aim is to ensure long-term road funding without relying on general taxpayer money.
