The basic truth is we don't have enough space on our roads for everyone to drive where they want to go. We haven't for years and it is only getting worse. If thing are going to get better something needs to change.
The fuel tax isn't cutting it and it hasn't matched transportation infrastructure costs for decades. Charging some one that drives a 20 mpg vehicle twice as much as someone that drives a 40 mpg vehicle is fundamentally unfair. It is time for a change.
