The bill proposes a combination of increased fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and a new road usage charge to generate revenue for road maintenance and public transit improvements. It has received mixed reactions, with support from environmental groups and urban planners who see it as a step towards sustainable transportation, while facing opposition from rural communities and some business sectors concerned about the economic impact on residents and commerce.
