The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) will recruit 500 people from Wright and Hennepin counties to take part in research to test technology that could someday be used to collect a mileage-based user fee (MBUF) in lieu of a gasoline tax. These funding sources support construction and maintenance of the highway system.

Either cap-and-trade, a system of taxing emissions, or a combination of the two could provide the needed incentives. A carbon-pricing system is the most cost-effective way to reduce emissions.
