Buckle up as we navigate the twists and turns of infrastructure and road funding. As electric vehicles gain traction, traditional gas taxes are running out of fuel to support our infrastructure budget. Today, we're exploring how Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) taxes pave a more equitable and sustainable path for funding road maintenance and construction. 

Adam Hoffer, the Director of Excise Tax Policy, joins Kyle Hulehan to unpack the challenges and opportunities of VMT taxes. They will explore the innovative technologies used for mileage tracking and address the significant privacy concerns involved.
