| 1 | | SENATE RESOLUTION
|
| 2 | | WHEREAS, A proposed new tax on miles traveled on public, |
| 3 | | non-tolled Illinois roads using GPS tracking
technology has |
| 4 | | been proposed in the Illinois General Assembly; and
|
| 5 | | WHEREAS, Road user charges (RUCs), also known as |
| 6 | | mileage-based user fees (MBUFs) or vehicle miles
traveled (VMT) |
| 7 | | fees, would impose a new financial burden, raise privacy |
| 8 | | concerns for Illinois residents,
and make our State even less |
| 9 | | competitive; and
|
| 10 | | WHEREAS, Such proposals would offer Illinois drivers a |
| 11 | | variety of bad options; and
|
| 12 | | WHEREAS, A GPS monitoring plan would create privacy |
| 13 | | concerns for all Illinoisans and expose personal
and |
| 14 | | confidential information to the possibility of a data breach; |
| 15 | | therefore, be it
|
| 16 | | RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE ONE HUNDREDTH GENERAL |
| 17 | | ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the General |
| 18 | | Assembly not to impose road user charges; and be it further
|
| 19 | | RESOLVED, That we state our firm opposition to any new tax |
| 20 | | on miles traveled.
