Phil Scott signs annual transportation bill with new fees on electric vehicles
The governor also approved eight other bills Monday, including one that will allow more teenagers to keep their public library records confidential from parents or guardians.
A new annual fee on electric vehicle drivers is slated to take effect next year after Vermont Gov. Phil Scott on Monday signed this year’s annual transportation funding bill into law.
The law, H.868, primarily allocates nearly $880 million to the state’s transportation system, according to Scott’s office. That includes about $130 million for roadway paving and some $55 million for public transportation. There’s also about $15 million for better bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, as well as for stormwater management projects.
