Has Oregon gone to the mileage charge concept?
In place since 2015, the OreGo program allows drivers to sign up and pay by the mile rather than pay a regular registration fee. Anyone whose vehicle gets 20 mpg or more, or is an EV or hybrid, is eligible. The fee is two cents per mile driven.
If you have a gasoline-powered car and have elected to use OreGo, you can get a rebate on the gas tax you pay. This results in a much lower net fee (no registration fee) for drivers who don't rack up very many miles. And if you do drive a lot of miles--you can just pay the registration fee as usual.
The program is voluntary.
