I'd like to see a user fee system for car travel. See how that flies.

We've had that for decades already. It is called a toll road. We have
several here in the northeast and more on the way. Also, cities like
London are already charging "congestion" fees for driving a car in
certain areas of the city at certain times. It is expected to spread to
the USA soon. Also, there is a move underway to sell public
infrastructure such as roads and bridges to private concerns where these
would become toll based.
So, it is already happening and is picking up steam.
