ExtOptVMT - ExtOptVolTExternality-VMT charges produce the greatest reductions in VMT, fuel use, and transportation sector emissions.Average fleet efficiency is also likely to improveCapturing externality costs with VMT taxes is both efficient and likely to yield more benefits through reduced congestion levels, accident risk, and pollution levels.The mileage tax can lead to rather noticeable reductions in VMT, total energy use, and GHG emissionsMileage taxes have the ability to produce more revenuesThere may be some economic losses as VMT rates increase.
