Every road user should be proportionally assessed, even if that proportion is, on a per-vehicle basis, small. Right now, road users don't even pay for the roads they use. "Highways, however, have never fully “paid for themselves” through user revenue and are more dependent today on subsidies from general taxpayers than at any time in recent history. The fees drivers pay also don’t even begin to pay for the many costs that highways impose on non-drivers, and are unlikely to be sufficient in the future to fuel the increase in highway capacity favored by highway advocates." https://pirg.org/newjersey/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Do-Roads-Pay-for-Themselves_-wNJ.pdf https://pirg.org/newjersey/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Do-Roa...
