Virginia’s highway use fee (HUF) is intended to close the gap between what the average gas-fueled vehicle pays in state gas tax and what is paid by fuel-efficient and electric vehicles, which consume less fuel and therefore pay less taxes. Revenue is deposited into the Commonwealth Transportation Fund to support transportation infrastructure.
ARTBA’s Transportation Investment Advocacy Center has created a one-page guide on Virginia’s Highway Use Fee.
This document is part of a series of one-page guides on transportation funding methods. View the TIAC Funding Techniques page for additional handouts.
