Highway maintenance is supported by gas taxes (theoretically). EVs use the same infrastructure, but they don't pay gas taxes, so there you go, more fees.

Hey, those light rail programs no one rides aren't going to pay for themselves.
Umm, you live in the Springs, have you been on the light rail?Quote:

Then you probably aren't aware that TONS of people use the light rail. I too steer clear of public transportation, and can count on two fingers the number of times I've been on the light rail, but living just over a mile from the Downtown Littleton light rail station, I can assure you that the rail gets plenty of use.Quote:

The last few times I've been in Denver, the light rail cars that run parallel to I25 always seemed to be empty or minimally populated.
I guess it's a good thing that they're being utilized.
The majority of use comes from the Mon-Fri work crowd, and then weekends mainly for big events like sports, GABF, concerts etc.Quote:

I think doing the work commute on the train probably isn't too bad, but you couldn't pay me to ride it on New year's or St. Patrick's day.Quote:
