This report explores public opinion on a new and promising concept--green transportation taxes and fees. These are taxes and fees set at variable rates, with higher rates for more polluting vehicles and lower rates for those that pollute less. This approach to transportation taxes and fees adapts the traditional transportation finance system, permitting it to achieve two critical public benefits simultaneously: encouraging drivers to choose more environmentally-friendly transportation options, and raising revenue for needed transportation programs. Growing concern with global warming, air pollution, and energy security, combined with California's concern over shrinking transportation revenues, make this type of transportation finance system a particularly exciting finance approach to evaluate at present.
