Oregon DOT Launches Enrollment for Nation's First Per-Mile Charging System
PORTLAND - State officials and private partners kicked off Oregon's new pay-by-the-mile road usage charge program, OReGO, welcoming drivers to enroll online starting July 1st.
"The doors are now open for Oregonians to enroll their vehicles and test-drive OReGO statewide," said Vicki Berger, chair of Oregon's Road User Fee Task Force, and a former member of the Oregon House of Representatives who helped pass legislation creating Oregon's new road usage charge program in 2013.
OReGO participants will pay 1.5 cents per mile while driving in Oregon, and receive a credit on their bill for state gas tax paid at the pump. OReGO is currently limited to 5,000 vehicles statewide. ODOT is asking participants for feedback and suggestions for improving OReGO along the way.
