Value Pricing Pilot Program Projects NOT Involving Tolls: Projects that Make Auto Use Costs Variable

Fixed costs of auto ownership, such as insurance costs, auto lease costs or registration fees generally do not depend directly on the amount the auto is driven. Projects in this category are designed to convert those fixed costs into costs that vary according to the miles the auto is driven, thus giving the driver the incentive to recognize these costs when making the decision to drive. Projects include mileage-based insurance, lease charges, taxes and fees.

Listed below each project category are projects that are currently being studied or have been completed. Each category includes a more detailed description of projects, an update of its current quarterly status, and a contact name for those seeking additional information about the project.
