1. IFTA Vehicle Specific & EVOC Breakout
Presented by: Robert Pitcher, ATA, IFTA Industry Advisory Committee Stephen Nutter, (VA) IFTA, Inc. Board of Trustees, President

2. EVOC Discussion
EVOC: a means of enabling LE on the side of the road to deal effectively with the truck in front of them. Enforcement must be able to key into one or more universal databases and verify that the status of the vehicle is OK, or not.

3. EVOC Discussion
This may be done by: 1. DOT number on the truck 2. License plate number 3. VIN

4. EVOC Discussion
1. Identifies the carrier rather than the vehicle 2. The registrant rather than the vehicle 3. The vehicle but nothing else

5. EVOC Discussion
1 and 2 may get enforcement much of the way to the identification of the IFTA fleet of which the vehicle is, or might be, or should be, a part.
That’s inadequate for law enforcement's need.  An IFTA fleet may not be congruent with some other definition of fleet, and if it is today, it may not be tomorrow.

6. EVOC Discussion
EVOC won't work for IFTA as those two concepts now stand.  The Agreement was deliberately set up to be fleet-  rather than vehicle-oriented, and the makeup of an IFTA fleet isn't the same as any other relevant concept. 

7. EVOC Discussion
No one knows exactly what vehicles are in an IFTA fleet at any given time except the licensee and - maybe - the base-state auditor of that licensee (97% chance that will not occur).

8. EVOC Discussion What’s Industry’s Interest in EVOC? Better Enforcement
Eliminating IFTA Decals

9. EVOC Discussion DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION BUT… Stemmed from Board request
“Changes needed to make IFTA vehicle-specific”
Much industry input
BUT…

10. EVOC Discussion NO ONE LIKES THE RESULT VERY MUCH
The DRAFT is NOT a PROPOSAL !!
But the DISCUSSION may be worthwhile

11. EVOC Discussion Points to Notice:
The concept of an IFTA License changes
R235, R337, R338
Most key changes are in Article VI, esp. R610
Most other changes serve to eliminate decals
Role of IFTA Clearinghouse could change
R2110

12. EVOC Discussion Article VI Changes R605: No more physical credentials
Licensees must electronically furnish their base with VINs of their IFTA fleet vehicles
Jurisdictions must update VIN data, by account number, to IFTA Clearinghouse daily

13. Article VI Changes, cont’d.
EVOC Discussion
Article VI Changes, cont’d.
R610, cont’d:
Licensees have two days to notify base of VIN changes
Changes explicitly to provide better enforcement
R620: Failure of Licensee to notify base of VIN changes subject to penalty – But What?

14. Now for Something Completely Different
EVOC Discussion
Now for Something Completely Different
National Pilots of mileage-based user fee or vehicle mileage tax or road usage fee

15. EVOC Discussion BE CAREFUL HERE
Almost all discussions of MBUFs, VMTs, etc., start with these assumptions:
The traditional fuel tax is in trouble, or obsolete
EVs will require replacing the fuel tax
A mileage tax is a reasonable, appropriate way to fund the roads
BUT…

16. EVOC Discussion NONE OF THIS IS TRUE !!
To the extent the fuel tax has a problem, the problem is POLITICAL.
EVs are a negligible share of the market, and may never be more than that.
Mileage taxes are highly problematic, and haven’t worked well at all.

17. EVOC Discussion
MBUFA (mileage based user fee alliance) Promoting a national pilot End game is to activate national program by Federal Government

18. EVOC Discussion
MBUFA Enthralled with IFTA model Millennial Concentric predictions Fleet reporting and ownership is major part of their program

19. EVOC Discussion
MBUFA
Perspectives
Corporate ownership and operation
Fleet reporting is an asset

20. EVOC Discussion
Northwestern States Washington, Oregon and California all had pilots RUC West is now 14 states

21. EVOC Discussion
Acknowledged interstate travel but willfully ignored ramifications
RUC West will include interstate travel when they have a pilot

22. EVOC Discussion
I95 Corridor Coalition States from Florida to Maine Embraced interstate travel and acknowledge value of IFTA operations (clearinghouse)

23. EVOC Discussion
Perspectives
Corporate ownership and operation
Fleet reporting is an asset

27. EVOC Discussion
The Board of Trustees seeks input from all parties to develop an appropriate plan (ballot) to move forward with EVOC support

28. EVOC Discussion
All comments and concerns will be combined and evaluated by the Board of Trustees at their fall meeting.
