EROAD confirmed participation in the next stage of the multi-state
mileage-based user fee pilot
25 August 2020
Transport technology services company EROAD today confirmed its participation in the 2020-2021
multi-state mileage-based user fee (MBUF) truck pilot being conducted by the Eastern
Transportation Coalition (the Coalition), formerly known as the I-95 Corridor Coalition.

EROAD was previously selected to participate in the Coalition’s first multi-state MBUF truck pilot,
which concluded in March 2019. The findings from this pilot, recently released and available on the
Coalition MBUF website, highlight the important role of trucking industry participation in assessing
the viability of MBUF as a funding alternative. EROAD supplied the technology solution used by the
trucks involved in the pilot to capture miles travelled and its expertise in trucking regulations
and on road usage charging to guide the study design.

“We value the experience that EROAD brings to the MBUF conversation both in terms of providing
accurate data to explore RUC systems and from their understanding of how the trucking industry
works,” said Patricia Hendren, executive director of the Coalition. “EROAD also played a key role in
organizing a motor carrier working group, a collection of professionals from trucking firms,
manufacturers and industry associations that gave valuable input and helped us highlight the unique
challenges that fleets and drivers face.”

“The continued development and upkeep of our highways and roads is critical for the trucking
industry and for the US economy,” said Norm Ellis, president of EROAD North America. “We’re
happy to play a continuing role in the assessment of future road funding methods and making sure
that voices from the trucking industry are heard in that process.”

The Coalition is currently planning for its next pilot, which will begin on October 1, 2020 and includes
200 trucks. A goal of the next pilot is to capture mileage travelled in all 48 contiguous
states. EROAD is excited to continue to be the technology and research partner of the Coalition, and
its Ehubo in-cab distance recorder and SaaS based road tax technology device will again be
used during the pilot in the trucks involved.
