Washington Joins Oregon 'Pay-Per-Mile' Experiment



Vancouver, Wash  (Metro)  -- Washington is about to join Oregon's experiment with raising money for highway maintenance through a pay-by-the-mile system. 

Both states face an apparently-permanent dropoff in gasoline tax revenues and say they're starting to defer maintenance. 

KING 5 says 20 Washington residents are already participating in the Oregon program, which uses transponders to track mileage and sends monthly bills.
