Skymeter's Bern Grush calls it TDP pricing - standing for charges that involve measures of Time, Distance, Place. Others call them vehicle-miles fees or mileage charges. Sometimes they become VMT charges for Vehicle Miles Traveled. Others again call them road user charges or road use charges, hence RUCs. Texas Transportation Institute scholars call them Mileage Based User Fees, MBUFs.

This list is provoked by the claim "There are currently 277 state and local toll roads, bridges and tunnels in 32 states, but there are no tolled interstate facilities..." on p21 of the otherwise admirable report "Mileage-Based User Fees: Defining a Path toward Implementation, Phase 2: An Assessment of Institutional Issues, Nov 2009" by Ginger Goodin, Richard T Baker and Lindsay Taylor, Texas Transportation Institute, November 2009.
