Why It’s A Bad Idea To Tax People For Every Mile They Drive
Rather then taxing people for every mile they drive, they should tax people on specific congested expressways and intersections, especially during times of congestion. Raise the price, and people will consider alternative routes or use public transit.
Back in the day, tolling roads required toll booths. But now with license plate readers and technology like EZ-Pass, there is no reason why most urban expressways and roads couldn't be tolled during times of congestion for purposes of revenue generation and congestion reduction.
