Road Usage Charge (RUC) America

RUC America is a voluntary coalition of state departments of transportation and provincial ministries of transport that are committed to collaborative research and development of a potential new transportation funding method that would collect a road usage charge (RUC) based on actual road usage. Through the leadership of the Consortium, member states and provinces will have the research, technical expertise, operational understanding, and member support to be poised to initiate an effective interoperable RUC system investigation, demonstration, or implementation, if and when desired. The objectives of this project are to: 1) Explore the technical and operational feasibility of a multi-jurisdictional road usage charge system; 2) Investigate public and key decision maker criteria for acceptance and share experience and lessons learned to foster positive outcomes; 3) Develop standards and protocols for how road use charges could best be collected and remitted among the various jurisdictions; 4) Develop preliminary operational concepts for how a multi-jurisdictional road usage charge system could be administered; 5) Develop a model for regional cooperation and interoperability that can be used in the Western region and potentially across North America; 6) Engage the automotive manufacturing and technology sector to encourage the ability for mileage reporting to occur in conjunction with other products and services the sector provides in the marketplace; 7) Share knowledge to maximize the preparedness for and efficiency of policy and program development for road usage charging among the members.
