in 2003 and the inflation adjusted dollars it had more valuable to the there's in the last exactly to californians spend $108,000 per year due to the deteriorating roads so why not raise the gas tax well, the state and federal gas tax lose it's value and rising costs of construction so who was $0.04 per gallon it was 11 point 2 cents but with the gas taken into consideration tax people don't pay their fair share they pay overall lower fees for gas but not transcribing that is a big political lift it takes quite an

effort why is the road usage the answer it moves treating the roads like water and public good it is more equitable because the users pay their fair share and lower efficient vehicles pay more than the less efficient vehicles so from american people equality technology we have the gps and other technology that can assist us in collecting it and it won't be degraded as fuel-efficientcy continues to grow that is pretty intense that the electrical vehicles in 2015 there's a small part of technical cars but 20 thirty most will be electrical and not

contributing to the funding source so factors to consider that the pilot program will go into how much it costs to implement and administrator you think about the tracking vehicles in the united states it starts to add up how easy is it to use you need to plug in and not remember to turn on and tech reliable that's an expensive component and how much the fee structure and who do we charge has to be easy to endorse and engage the private sector in the administration and technical and there's policy concerns that comes to mind when our talking about the charges and equate so oregon is leading the way with the usage charges in 2012 they had a small pilot about 88

policymakers experienced it offhand and kaetsd and informed the public this is the fee that was in place of the gas tax so the users got a refund and a number of goals to chief the easy of use and on system that is privately administered prrnt were given 3 reasons one a flat monthly fee and one that recorded the meanwhile track and i guess the cell phone you use grps to track in state and outside of state so they did find their charge raised 48 percent more this led to the next pilot 05 thousand users that is going into focus july 1st, 2015, the plan to charge 1 point 5 cent

per mile and that's between the federal and state government and a so things to consider fuel implements and what technology will it replace the embarrass tax how do we address the privacy concerns and more likely to kept it and how do you spend the revenue that pilot will hopefully address if not all of those questions. >> great, thank you supervisor mar you just explained the technology you said if a gps system a a driver has to elaborately allow their systems to be tracked to know how many miles your gone. >> there's a range that has processed and consciousness in

oregon you asking can self-report and a or pay. >> fee and less tracking engages combajz about it reaches up to a gps whether you're on a public or private road and only charge you for the public or private road but if you have the gps and have that level of engagement with excuse me. with the device you'll get benefits and not have to pay as often. >> supervisor kim. >> actually go back to our gravel on page 9 why are interest two bars for every 5 years. >> there's two bars one the model year and the second bar is the entire fleet. >> the fee. >> the fleet of vehicles so ever so the model year is what the cars get reduced and the

rest is the composition of all the fleets so ever car. >> so the first bar is the cars that are actually mustard and the second the cars purchased. >> the first one is the cars purchased in the years shown and the seconds bar is all the cars in the entire state so everything that was purchased in 1990s through the current date and in terms of what we anticipate. >> correct. >> it's great to see that electrical cards are predicted to make up a majority of cars in the future it's great to see i guess one question he have it makes sense the rational how can

we insure that it didn't stop buyers of cars that are looking at hybrids because it decreases the fees they pay. >> that's an important question the rational is the gas tax is such a small portions of what you pay so electrical cars you're not paying but maybe now saving $2 a gallon you're still saving money per glag. >> so the greatest incentive being the reduction. >> thank you. >> uh-huh. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you chairman and thank you for the presentation a quick question and probably a dumb question but not all gas equals are the same is there a

way to capture the use of road captures a large truck vs. an impact car. >> the trucks are charged under a different system right now only pedestrian cars but an application to larger vehicles into effect in new england and germ they have usage charges hair been piloted for something else. >> is there i'm wondering if there's any other way in which other jurisdictions sort of pay for the roads road uncle tax which i understand you know the benefit of it there is a regressive element i mean are there other things that are done in the country and the world we

can look at. >> this is probably the most forward thinking one i've seen i mean you see the traditional sales taxed and gasoline taxed that is the closet and the lower efficiency vehicles that cost less over paying in gladdening gasoline tax will be less. >> supervisor mar. >> another question about the slide that commenting raised the question about so it looks like electrical vehicles are going to it looks like a tone fold increase in 10 years and then still a good portion of hybrid vehicles as well is there data you can give us on the increase in use of electrical cars that's helpful to understand how a new

policy might impact the city and counties cities like ours we have a bigger percent of hybrids and electrical cars ask there data on our city or statewide. >> i haven't gotten it but we'll look at that and get back to you. >> ask there any reason we couldn't create our oppose vehicle miles program here in san francisco. >> i think it requires state authorization. >> okay eaten for congestion active management we don't need it for that. >> we can look at as well. >> great colleagues any other questions thank you for the presentation very interesting. >> we're looking to see what

happens in oregon and how that goes as and a at the go to the next portion of the project is there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. item 5 is an informational item we'll go on to our next item. >> item 6 introduction of new items this is an informational item. >> colleagues any new items or issues go to public comment is there any public comment on item 6 introduction to new items seeing none, public comment is closed. and go on to our next item. >> item 7 public comment. >> our next item is on for general public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. prior to our adjournment i want to thank sfgovtv broadcast jessie larson and nona melkonian thank you for your services our next item.
