HERE WE GO AGAIN: Bay Area Drivers Could Be Tracked By GPS, Taxed Per Mile Driven « CBS San Francisco

REPORT: Bay Area drivers could one day be tracked using a GPS-like device in their cars and taxed per miles driven – a scenario which is part of a proposed long-range study aimed at finding ways to reduce traffic and pollution, while also raising revenues.

Under the plan, drivers would have to install  trackers in their vehicle and officials would tax drivers for every mile they travel.
