oregon's system gives people a choice.ou can just report your odometer readings to the state and pay for that. the problem with that is then you do not know whether people are driving on city, county, state, or federal roads, so there are no piggyback options. the system i prefer is put a gps device in my car, and it reports to a private company where i am driving and when i am driving. the private company collects a fee from me and passes that money to the state. the private company promises they will not tell the state where and when i am driving, but they will tell the state how much i owe the state. or how much everybody owes the state who drives using this service. the state just gets a lump sum of money, and they don't know who it is coming from or where it is coming from. potentially, this would allow cities and counties to piggyback onto it. private road owners can piggyback onto it. it could even be used with variable prices to relieve congestion. i really like this system. i have been using it now for four or fiv
