| 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.
