Perhaps Doug would consider tolls based on vehicle size, engine size or tonnage?

It would be really interesting if tolls were calculated based on the number of occupants per square ft. of vehicle. This would encourage smaller vehicles, which would require less parking area and make roads safer.

Single occupancy F150s would be considerably more expensive to drive compared to a small sedan with four passengers, as an example.

An extra tax could also be charged for excessively heavy or powerful vehicles, because nobody needs 500 horsepower truck to take their kid to school a block away. πŸ˜’
