The Utah Department of Transportation (UDoT) has published a report with a plan to enroll all registered vehicles in a road usage charge programme by 31 December 2031.
The programme was launched in January 2020 as an alternative to the state fuel tax to create more sustainable funding for the US state's transportation system.
It is based on a 'user pays' principle, charging drivers a fee based on miles driven rather than fuel purchased. 
UDoT says the health of Utah's transportation infrastructure has been in jeopardy for years as the state fuel tax, which helps fund the US state's transportation system, fails to keep pace with funding needs.
