Heather<p>Finally sorted my RUC for my RV. Had to double check I was reading the odometer right 'cause it was at exactly 56,000 Km. Since RUC is bought in 1,000 Km increments, I guess it will make it easier to figure out when I'm due to buy some more?</p><p>Had some extra $ in the car maintenance fund so I've bought what I hope is a year's worth of RUC.

Christian Haselbach<p>Going down the rabbit hole... Looks like WSP Global - a Canadian consulting company <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSP_Global" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSP_Glob</span><span class="invisible">al</span></a> - is pushing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RUC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RUC</span></a> across the US and many DOTs are buying into it. Seems like something <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StrongTowns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StrongTowns</span></a> should have on their radar but I could not find them commenting on it.</p>
Christian Haselbach<p>A toll system w/ <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CongestionPricing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CongestionPricing</span></a> could be an alternative. The problem with this is that something like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GoodToGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoodToGo</span></a> needs expensive equipment. The cost of building this out needs to be weight against the cost of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RUC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RUC</span></a>. My guess is that the long term cost of it is lower than the administrative cost of RUC with all its exemptions. It can be made much fairer by only charging in places where alternatives are available and it's a better tool to address congestion and environmental concerns. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Traffic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Traffic</span></a></p>
Christian Haselbach<p>This sounds like it will cause huge administration overhead.</p><p>The charge is per mile. Not all miles traveled cause the same cost to society though. A 2.5 ton F150 causes more damage to the road than a 1.8 ton Leaf or a 1.5 ton Soul. Not to speak of a 4.5 ton EV Hummer.</p><p>An <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RUC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RUC</span></a> will do nothing to alleviate congestion. The price is too low to get people to use public transport instead in places where it is possible and will still make people pay who have no other choice.</p>
Christian Haselbach<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Washington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Washington</span></a> is planning a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RoadUsageCharge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RoadUsageCharge</span></a> (<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RUC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RUC</span></a>). The main driver for this seems to be that WA is mostly funding its road maintenance from the gas tax and that is projected to fall significantly, ostensibly due to EVs ("from $1.3 billion in 2026 to under $1 billion in 2035" - <a href="https://washingtonstatestandard.com/2023/10/11/washingtons-long-road-to-replacing-the-gas-tax/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonstatestandard.com/20</span><span class="invisible">23/10/11/washingtons-long-road-to-replacing-the-gas-tax/</span></a>). I understand that the migration to EVs causes revenue loss that needs to be addressed but I'm very skeptical that an RUC can be implemented in a reasonable way.</p>
