Action Alert for By-Pass Supporters

by Tryan Hartill

From UPI:

Oregon is testing the idea of collecting highway funds through a tax on miles driven, rather than gasoline consumed.
Eighty percent of Oregon’s highway money comes from its 24-cents-per-gallon gas tax. If the state promotes reducing gasoline consumption and consumers tend to buy the fuel-efficient vehicles, including hybrids, highway revenues would take a hit, The New York Times reported.

2 problems are emerging.

  • With higher gas prices, the only way to keep a large number of cars on the road is to improve the MPG average.
  • The only reason to build a by-pass is for large numbers of cars on the road.

GPS monitored tax calculation will be the only way to fill Government Transportation coffers. The money must be there to pay for a by-pass.

Time For Action!

  1. Write all your critters, tell the Gov candidates to support it and spread the word.
  2. Buy your own GPS, (Or have the Government do it-either way you are paying for it) get’r installed and make sure your signal is being recieved by the State of Oregon.
  3. Write out your check to the State for miles driven.
  4. Enter one of the “turnpikes” and enjoy your by-pass!
