Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg clarified the details of a forthcoming infrastructure improvement bill, saying that a mileage tax will not be included.

Last week, Buttigieg, a former Democratic presidential candidate, suggested that a mileage tax showed “a lot of promise” to help pay for an infrastructure plan. A vehicle mileage tax would tax people per miles driven and would be seen as an alternative to raising the tax on gasoline.
