Distance-Based Fees (DBF)

Minnesota, like many states around the U.S., is exploring usage-based funding alternatives like distance-based fees (DBF) to replace declining motor fuel tax revenues. Road use fees, if implemented in the future, may at least partially help to address funding challenges by ensuring vehicles pay for roads based on actual travel, not fuel consumption. The findings and observations of this multi-year project are documented in a final report.
