Road Usage Charge Program
The owner of an all-electric vehicle (EV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) may enroll in the Utah Department of Transportation’s (UDOT) mileage-based roadway operations and maintenance fee program in lieu of paying additional EV, PHEV, or HEV registration fees. To participate, the owner or lessee must enroll, report mileage driven, and pay the road usage fee for each payment period. Fees are usually adjusted annually for inflation, according to the consumer price index (CPI) in the event it is greater than zero. Road use fees are as follows:
| Year | Fee per Mile | Maximum Total Annual Fee |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $0.0100 | $130.25 |
| 2024 | $0.0106 | $138.50 |
| 2025 | $0.0111 | $143.25 |
| 2026 | $0.0125 | $180 |
| 2027 through 2031 | $0.0125 + CPI | $180 + CPI |
| 2032 and later | $0.015 | $240 |
| 2033 and later | $0.015 + CPI | $240 + CPI |
A six-month option with a lower maximum road use fee is available. UDOT may adjust the mileage fee, and the Utah Tax Commission may adjust the maximum annual fee amount annually based on inflation. Additional conditions apply. For more information, see the UDOT Road Usage Charge website.
