Taxing transportation fringe benefits was one of many changes to the tax code arising from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).However, most of these benefits are still taxed differently than wages, making the tax code more complicated and favoring some forms of compensation over others.
From the standpoint of transportation finance, promoting energy conservation with a broad-based energy tax rather than a motor fuel tax would have an added advantage—it would segregate revenue of the energy tax from revenue of fuel taxes that were intended as user fees and devoted to covering transportation agency expenditures.

These benefits are a result of a number of regulatory programs, including reducing sulfur levels in diesel fuel voluntary programs including the. Alternative Fuels StrategiesAn alternative fuel, most generally defined, is any fuel other than the traditional selections, gasoline and diesel, used to produce energy or power.
The emissions impact and energy output provided by alternative fuels varies, depending on the fuel source. Examples of alternative fuels include biodiesel, ethanol, electricity, propane, compressed natural gas, and. Gas tax revenues are on an unsustainable course. Over the last five years, Congress has transferred more than $53 billion from the general fund to the transportation fund in order to compensate for lagging gas tax revenues.

Last month President Obama signed a two-month extension of federal highway funding into law that will continue through July. This two-month patch has now intensified the transportation funding debate, with some in Congress calling for the biggest gas tax hike in over twenty years.
The federal gas tax is currently cents per gallon but some misguided lawmakers claim a much steeper The impacts of climate change include warming temperatures, changes in precipitation, increases in the frequency or intensity of some extreme weather events, and rising sea levels.
These impacts threaten our health by affecting the food we eat, the water we drink. Advocates of more federal spending for highways and transit note that the federal fuel tax (currently cents per gallon of gasoline) has not been raised since and that the year freeze.

Electricity prices are lower and more stable than gasoline prices. On a national average, it costs less than half as much to travel the same distance in an EV than a conventional vehicle.
