Economists love toll systems because they’re essentially a use-tax: drive more, pay more.

Unfortunately, they’re also a regressive tax. Poor people generally drive more because they can’t afford to live near their work/school/etc. So, the additional tax revenue is mostly extracted from the people who are the least capable of changing their behavior and have the least disposable income.

Not disagreeing with your core point but infrastructure is never paid off.

Upkeep on a mile of asphalt is way more than I expected and I live somewhere temperate.
