Dump Trucks Columbus OH Insight:

Earlier this year, U.S. News & World Report, using data from McKinsey & Co., also put Oregon at the top its state infrastructure ranking. U.S. News looked at the categories of energy, transportation and internet access and placed Oregon first after considering a variety of factors like bridge integrity, public transportation utilization, road quality, renewable energy, power reliability and cost and broadband download speed.

Oregon is also exploring new ways to collect taxes from vehicles that don't use much gas, like electric or hybrid cars. In July of 2015, the state kicked off a pilot program called OReGO in which volunteers pay a 1.7-cent per-mile road usage fee and receive credits for any fuel taxes they pay at the pump.

The Washington State Transportation Commission also started a similar volunteer program, except that the state uses a mock 2.4 cents per mile charge. Participants in the program commit to reporting their mileage, which takes about 10 minutes per month, and, in return, receive gift cards. Washington has four ways volunteers can report their mileage: using a pre-selected block of miles via a mileage permit; odometer readings done in person or electronically; an automated mileage meter with GPS and non-GPS capabilities or reporting via a smartphone app.
