    If you're a regular car driver, no matter what you're paying in fees and taxes it doesn't come close to paying for the roads you use.

    The True Costs of Driving
    Car owners don’t come close to covering the price of maintaining the roads they use.

    https://www.theatlantic.com/business...-costs/412237/

    "The amount that road users pay through gas taxes now accounts for less than half of what’s spent to maintain and expand the road system. The resulting shortfall is made up from other sources of tax revenue at the state and local levels, generated by drivers and non-drivers alike. This subsidizing of car ownership costs the typical household about $1,100 per year—over and above the costs of gas taxes, tolls, and other user fees."
