This bill could eliminate things like the electronic "toll pass" systems that operate without toll gates. Maybe someone could add an amendment to require electronic chips on bikes to force bicyclists to pay a toll on the Capitol City Trail in lieu of an annual pass? That would be helpful.
And ultimately, when gasoline is replaced by hydrogen or electric or something else, this bill may bypass DOT's ability to collect taxes on fuel. DOT has many road builder friends dependent on DOT contracts so I suspect the bill will die a quick, quiet death. Just my uninformed humble opinion. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robbie Webber Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 1:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Bikies] no computer chips in cars? This from the Wheeler Report today: AB-87. VEHICLE COMPUTER CHIPS (Schneider) Prohibits DOT from enforcing or administering any law or rule that requires or permits installation of a computer chip on a vehicle to determine the mileage for the purpose of collecting revenues in lieu of or in addition to motor fuel taxes. To Transportation. I don't think Mr Neuman's idea requires a computer chip, but somehow this sent up a red flag. Schneider was the guy that killed the at attempt to endorce red-light running via photo-enforcement. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
