Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg backed away from the idea of taxing vehicles on a per-mile driven basis, only two days after he suggested that the concept could be among a mix of methods used to finance new federal infrastructure spending.
Buttigieg told CNN earlier this week that a mileage tax, which would involve levying taxes on Americans for each mile driven, was “not part of the conversation” for President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill. “Just want to make sure that’s really clear,” remarked Buttigieg.
