    Nope. It comes from gas tax and gas tax only. Road and bridge and the general fund are two separate accounts in Colorado cities and counties. This is something that has been a subject of controversy for quite some time in my county. There is an "overflow" of revenue into the general fund but law prevents it from being used to repair and improve roads.

    But as you point out, there is no good solution.

    EV owners pay a tag fee, $300/yr in Alabama. Put everyone on a tag fee, problem solved. Index it by number of wheels and/or weight and the problem is gone. Also solves the trailer problem.

    FYI my Model 3:
    • 4 wheels
    • 3,800 lbs (empty)
