The Future of Virginia Transportation
Our roads connect us.
Our roads connect us. They take us to our jobs and to visit our family and friends. They are vital to Virginians’ quality of life.
Virginia’s roadways are maintained, in part, through taxes drivers pay at the gas pump. As more drivers switch to fuel-efficient and electric vehicles, they buy less gas; that means less money to help maintain Virginia’s vital thoroughfares.
To make up for the shortfall, the Virginia General Assembly instituted the highway use fee in 2020. Paid at the time of vehicle registration, the highway use fee ensures more equitable contributions to the Commonwealth’s highway system from users of fuel-efficient and electric vehicles. The legislation also created the Mileage Choice Program, a mileage-based alternative to the annual highway use fee.
Pay only pay for the miles you drive.
Save Money with the Mileage Choice Program
Virginia’s Mileage Choice Program is a voluntary option for drivers of eligible vehicles to pay their highway use fee on a per-mile basis in lieu of an annual highway use fee at the time of registration renewal. You only pay for the miles you drive, so if you drive less, you pay less. And, if you end up driving a little more, you never pay more than your annual highway use fee.
