Most adult bicyclists also own cars and pay for roadways with their auto registration. Bicyclists also own homes and pay system development fees to support roadways. Many adult bicyclists own more than one bike and would have to pay $54 for each one.

A Monitor Comments: This bill already has gotten strong media attention. Taxing cyclists for their use of transportation facilities is a hot issue for many Oregonians, some of whom feel it is only fair and other who argue that cyclists are already paying their fair share. There is no question that there is a need for funding for bicycle-related transportation improvement projects. It would be intersting to see a fiscal projection of the annual revenue that would come from a fee (that, of course, being dependent on the amount of the fee). ODOT would be responsible for creating the administrative rules and procedures for allocating funds to specific projects and programs. A monitor position is recommended to see how the discussion of the fee level (initially proposed at $54 per year) goes. It seems likely that a lower biannual registration amount will be proposed, since $54 every two years is the same registration fee for a motor vehicle.
