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.
