This is wrong. Tax is already tiered by income so people in lower brackets pay less for roads right now and richer people pay more.
By narrowing the focus to people who have to drive on the roads and doing it in a flat way using tolls will hurt poor people the most if they have to drive to work. Having to drive to and from a job at a certain time is relatively inelastic especially for lower paying service jobs.
With tolls the same money will be spread over fewer people in a flatter way.
