Minnesota Considers Pilot Program to Tax Cars for Miles Traveled

URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT
 

Minnesota Considers Pilot Program to Tax Cars for Miles Traveled

Legislation (H.F. 3149) to establish a pilot program administered by the Department of Transportation to impose a vehicle mileage user fee was introduced in Minnesota.  Under the bill, the Department must report to the legislature its design options and recommendations for a permanent program that would be implemented in the near term.

We Urge You to Contact House Transportation Policy Committee Members (List Below) Immediately To Request Their Opposition to H.F. 3149

  • H.F. 3149 seeks to penalize national efforts to create a more fuel efficient vehicle fleet by taxing drivers based on vehicle mileage.  As gas tax revenues decrease due to hybrid and electric vehicle ownership, states are looking for new sources of funding for pet projects.

DON’T DELAY!  Please contact members of the Minnesota House Transportation Policy Committee immediately to request their opposition to H.F. 3149.    

Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org.  Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts.  Urge them to join the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.
