Oregon is testing the idea of collecting highway funds through a tax on miles driven, rather than gasoline consumed.
Eighty percent of Oregon's highway money comes from its 24-cents-per-gallon gas tax. If the state promotes reducing gasoline consumption and consumers tend to buy the fuel-efficient vehicles, including hybrids, highway revenues would take a hit, The New York Times reported.
The test program uses a global positioning system to track miles driven, using a black box to calculate how many miles are clocked in-state, out of state and during rush hour.
The experiment is designed to increase state revenue for road maintenance without raising gasoline taxes, but critics say collecting GPS records poses new privacy issues.

As always, the Government and complacent corporate media aren't going to clue you in on what's really going on here, but the blogosphere will...
Here's how the system will really work and why toll-roads are part of the plan...
a)They will use embedded readers integrated directly in the road.
b)The RFID will be in the state registration sticker that you place on your license plate and renew yearly.
c) You will be billed monthly.
d) You will be fined monthly if you exceed the time vs distance between particular readers...points will be assigned for moving violations
e)RFID will also be in your realID, It will be illegal not to have it on you because there will also be a checkpoint function to the system.
Here are the specs from Government documentation soliciting vendors:
a)RFID-capable of being read from 20 ft. @ a speed of 55mph, up to 55 person simultaneously for busses.
b)Reader- capable of reading from greater than 20ft, to specifications above. Capable of reading multiple vehicles simultaneously. Must be capable of being cast in concrete.
The real and horrifying elements of what's really going on here.
What they are not telling you about this, is they have already been putting in the infrastructure for this. They have done it quietly. Articles like this one are just the announcement.
What's going on is, they plan on taking all the roads your grandparents already have paid for, the legitimate governmental authority that sits above the roads, the law enforcement and fining authority, and hand the whole lot over to their buddies and choice public/private organizations(PPO's) who will then have total regional authority over your movement. You will no longer have representation, and you won't be able to vote them out. They are working right now to change the law to allow for this in Ohio.
The king of Spain will be operating the new trans Texas corridor through his company Cintra, and many of the key free highways in Texas. This Oregon thing is much the same setup(although the GPS plan is a bit of misdirection), as well as the ones proposed in Ca, OH, IN(Cintra just won the contract for Indiana in mid March) and most of the east coast states.
They will hook into this a point system that will take into account all aspects of your life(yes, child payments and tax scofflaws and more), and use your license as hostage.
The tolls they're proposing begin @ $.15 a mile(multiply that by your MPG, for a per gallon price, mine works out to over $4 a gallon on top of the price of gas...right now fed excise is about $.50 a gallon), that does not include the price of gas and the included federal tax that won't be going away.
Texas is the initial testing ground, but other states are going forward at light speed.
In Texas, despite opinion polls 95% against and overflowing angry city council meetings, citizens ONLY narrowly defeated the proposal to start putting RFID in the registration stickers.
The crooks don't care, they are ignoring the defeat, they are going ahead with a pilot program and putting in the RFID in anyway, and challenging the people to vote them out.
PS: the TransTexas corridor project has had a whistle-blower go public, and say the concrete mix was totally below spec and is already falling apart before completion. They are cutting the cost every way possible, and are using illegal labor.
People really need to get up to speed on this issue. They have no idea whats in store for them.
