5 big questions about Democrat-run states’ plans to track motorists’ car mileage

Several Democratic-led states are exploring new ways to monitor vehicle mileage as they work toward climate goals and shore up road maintenance budgets. But the proposals are raising privacy and equity concerns about who gets left behind. Massachusetts lawmakers are currently considering the “Freedom to Move Act,” which would require the state to track emissions and miles traveled while developing plans to reduce overall vehicle mileage. Similar efforts are underway in Minnesota, California, Oregon, and New York.
