Could it be that a per-mile fee is actually a 'green' alternative?

 

Hello OReGO interest list! We thought that idea might interest you, because we think it is a green option, and you may, too, when you learn more from the new blog we posted.

 

 

 

In 1919, Oregon pioneered the nation’s first gas tax to provide much-needed funding to improve and expand our state roadways. In fact, the gas tax was created to “Get Oregon out of the mud!” by providing funding so Oregon could turn dirt roads into more drivable highways.  

 

For nearly a century, Oregon’s transportation system – and its funding – has remained directly tied to using fossil fuels - so how is it that OReGO could be offering a 'green' alternative? Read the rest of the blog to find out.

 

 

And THANKS to all of you are rarin' to go with OReGO.  A questionnaire is coming soon that will begin the process of getting those of you who want to volunteer into the sign-up process. Watch your in-box and get ready to participate in this first-in-the-nation test of the per mile fee!
