Great idea. Maybe we should try paying the cost of car travel via gas taxes. We could start by just paying the for the entire road, bridge, and highway network, and then add in the costs associated with climate change.


Better by vehicle weight as road damage is exponential function of weight


And that's important as well because a lot of people who don't personally drive cars on the roads use goods transported in that manner, take long distance busses, etc.


Not to mention the about 30000 killed in traffic every year in the US.
