EV's are causing the evaporation of the gas tax system.
Manage episode 436611605 series 2761827
The U.S.'s electric vehicle boom is ushering in a new crisis that lawmakers have known for decades was coming: the evaporation of the gas tax system that pays for the repair of crumbling roads and bridges. But there is a solution: charging drivers for the miles they traverse, which could easily replace the roughly $80 billion in revenue that state and federal gas taxes produce annually. The problem is getting elected officials to put that plan into action. Joshua Basseches, Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science, & The David and Jane Flowerree Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Environmental Studies at Tulane University joins Newell to talk about it.
