Perhaps it would help nudge more sustainable transport systems. While being a tax for road infrastructure wear and tear, it can effectively be a bit of a carbon tax too.

Now, the rail infrastructure and operators in North America are abysmal, but our countries were literally built by rail, I don't see why we can't continue to use rail as a more sustainable alternative to longer haul trucking. Rail operators being inept shouldn't be an excuse to explore these options.
