Short Statement: Section 1919 of The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users of 2005 (SAFETEA-LU) requires the Secretary of the Department of Transportation to submit annual reports and a final report to the Secretary of the Treasury, the Committee on Transportation and infrastructure and the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Environment and Public Works and the Committee on Finance of the Senate on the results of an analysis of highway vehicle mileage data collected to assess a mileage-based approach to collecting highway use fees. The analysis will be conducted through a two-year pilot test of assessing the technology, systems and driver opinions on a method to collect highway use fees based upon actual mileage driven by a specific vehicle on specific types of highways by use of an onboard computer as a possible alternative to the existing fuel tax. The study includes an assessment of user acceptance of privacy aspects of the mileage data collected, transmission of that data to the data collection center and transmission of statements to the user. This assessment shall be conducted through analysis of information collected from the pilot test participants.
