This is a good path forward IMO. I generally believe "pure consumption" - owned but almost never used assets like extra rooms in houses or seats in cars - should be taxed. That's not even a socialist/authoritarian idea; justification can be found even on the free-market side where "unproductive use" or "stranded resources" might be the more common terms. Some of the proceeds could even be earmarked to provide transportation to those such as the disabled or elderly who can't "just bike" (many people's only idea in this space unfortunately) or take public transportation easily. Is it perfect? Nope. Does it help move us forward to a more sustainable future? Still yes.
