• Abstract:
  This report documents early activities of a two‐phase research effort composed of three interrelated ; components: 1) a technology assessment, 2) an institutional assessment, and 3) a one‐day ; implementation‐focused symposium. Each component builds from the mileage‐based user fee ; framework developed with funding in 2008 from the University Transportation Center for Mobility™ ; ("Feasibility of Mileage‐Based User Fees: Application in Rural/Small Urban Areas of Northeast Texas", ; TRIS Accession Number 01121765). ; The technology assessment evaluated mileage‐based user fee technology configurations currently in ; use internationally and under study domestically. The technology assessment established what ; technologies are available for a regional mileage‐based user fee system that would best meet the ; objectives outlined in the user fee framework developed in the previous phase of this research. As ; part of this effort researchers also assembled a technology assessment team comprised of various ; specialists in order to provide input on the technologies being discussed. The institutional assessment ; was conducted in conjunction with the technology assessment and involved the study of various user ; fee frameworks in place throughout the United States. This assessment aided in determining the most ; appropriate model to incorporate for a mileage‐based user fee system administered by the NET RMA ; pursuant to the objectives of the mileage‐based user fee framework. A one‐day symposium in April ; 2009, conducted in Phase 2 of the project, brought together domestic and international ; transportation specialists for the purpose of identifying a possible pathway toward full ; implementation of a mileage‐based user fee as a replacement for the fuel tax.
