As hybrid and electric vehicles become a larger part of the Kansas fleet of registered vehicles, the amount of revenue collected from the sale of motor fuels is expected to stay steady, or even decline in the coming years.

Raising the registration fees for electric and hybrid vehicles offsets motor fuel tax revenues not collected by those vehicle types and provides parity for vehicles utilizing the transportation system.
