HB 1921: Transportation revenue

Establishing new sources of transportation revenue based on motor vehicle use of public roadways.

Summary

Establishes a voluntary road usage charge program from July 2027 to July 2031 that places a per mile road usage fee on motor vehicle usage of public roadways in the state.
Establishes a mandatory road usage charge program that is phased in between July 2029 and July 2035, to apply to light-duty electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, as well as light-duty internal combustion vehicles with a fuel economy rating of 20 miles per gallon or greater.
Sets the road usage fee rate at 2.6 cents per mile, offsets the amount due by the amount of fuel tax paid, and waives the electric and hybrid-electric vehicle fees otherwise due.
Defines the road usage fee as a motor vehicle license fee that may only be used for highway preservation and maintenance purposes.
Establishes a road usage assessment set to 10 percent of the total road usage fee imposed that applies to participants in the mandatory road usage charge program, and restricts the use of revenue collected from the assessment to rail, bicycle, pedestrian, and public transportation purposes.
