South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization

If you live in New Jersey and drive an electric vehicle (EV),* you are invited to participate in the four-month New Jersey Mileage-Based User Fee (MBUF) Pilot for EVs. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is looking for EV owners to share their opinions on an MBUF system and the future of New Jersey’s transportation funding.

The state and federal gas taxes have been a main source of transportation funding for more than one hundred years. As newer vehicles are going farther on less fuel and some have stopped using fuel at all, drivers are contributing less per mile to transportation funds. The Coalition is partnering with the New Jersey Department of Transportation to explore an MBUF, where each EV driver would contribute to our transportation system based on the miles they drive instead of the annual EV fee enacted in July 2024.

The Pilot is easy to join and free to participate in, and there are strict privacy measures in place to safeguard your data. Enrollment for the Pilot begins October 1, 2024. Visit NewJerseyMBUFpilot.org to learn more.

*Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) are not eligible to participate in the Pilot.
