Would you be more willing to support Metro Vancouver’s proposed mobility pricing scheme if it meant a big price break at the pump?
That’s
 one of the ideas being proposed in the final report of the Mobility 
Pricing Independent Commission, due to be presented to the TransLink 
Mayors’ Council on Thursday.

Metro Vancouver drivers pay more than 43 cents of tax per litre on gasoline.
Ten cents of that is federal excise tax, while an additional 33.28 cents is levelled provincially. According to the province, 17 cents of that is a special, regional TransLink fuel tax. Then there’s GST.

The report says a checkpoint system would cost the average 
household anywhere from $1,800 to $2,700 per year, and a distance-based 
charge between $1,000 and $1,700 but also reduce congestion by 20 to 25 
per cent.
