A bill which would ban the creation of a vehicle-miles traveled tax has been introduced in the House of Delegates.
A Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Tax, is essentially a tax imposed on every mile you drive. In effect such a road tax would constitute a toll on every single road, with rates set based on where and when the vehicle was driving.
A VMT was proposed as part of the Maryland Department of Transportation's 2012 implementation report for Maryland's Climate Action Plan, which stated that MDOT wants to “establish a GHG emission-based road user fee (or VMT fee) statewide by 2020 in addition to existing motor fuel taxes."
