I do.  I drive 70 miles a day and like HYBRIDS. Not EVs.  I need less than 10 gallons a week of gas a week and avg in the 6 warm months around 55 mpg and the cold months around 50.  I did not get a tax break on any of the 3 Hybrids I have owned since 2008.

In the state of VA for EVs and Hybrids they have a highway use tax for EVs and Hybrids when you renew your registration.  It is about 65 bucks.  It cost me 115 bucks to register my car this year.

**** you dems.

For decades, the federal government has funneled big-ticket grants to local communities to help them take on ambitious construction projects to expand public transit. The grants, sometimes in the billions of dollars, have funded new railroad tracks, train stations and roads rebuilt for modern bus service. Today, they’re funding extensions of the Second Avenue Subway in New York and the Red Line in Chicago, as well as the Gateway Tunnel under the Hudson River and bus infrastructure in Indianapolis and San Antonio.

But since President Trump returned to office, the Federal Transit Administration has not signed a single new agreement under the program, known as Capital Investment Grants. Large projects ready to enter the final phase of the program’s yearslong pipeline have stalled there. The administration also tried halting payments to the New York and Chicago projects, forcing courts to intervene.As the number of pending projects builds up, so has anxiety about the federal government’s support for major transit infrastructure. Money that Congress designated for that purpose is accumulating too: More than $7 billion hasn’t been obligated to any project.
