As current funding sources are proving to be inadequate, alternative revenue sources, such as the VMT tax, sales tax, energy tax, parking tax, tolls, and others, are used or discussed around the United States to provide financing of transportation (improvement). In addition, these revenue sources are also designed in part to affect travel behaviors through the internalizing of travel costs. This research will measure stated and revealed behavior with respect to such alternative funding sources by conducting focus group and survey research.
