No. Azuga automatically credits your fuel tax back to you. We are able to calculate how much fuel your vehicle burns and credit your digital Azuga Wallet with the fuel tax you've already paid. You receive credit up to a zero-dollar balance and pay only the per-mile tax minus the total paid gas tax.

Absolutely. On top of the pride and thrill of participating in a groundbreaking program, electric vehicle (EV) owners benefit from OReGO and Azuga Insight. In fact, EV owners can save money on Oregon vehicle registration fees. Effective in 2020, electric and high-efficiency vehicle owners pay increased fees according to differing levels of miles-per-gallon ratings. Fees were increased again January 1, 2022. If you drive your EV less than 6,000 miles per year (and many people do), you can save money at registration.

OReGO is Oregon’s revolutionary program that is paving the way to a fair and sustainable funding system for the state's roads and bridges. Participants pay for only the miles they drive after they are credited for gas tax they’ve already paid. For more information, visit MyOReGO.org.

Vehicles eligible for the Oregon OReGO program must be light-duty passenger classified, have a 20 miles-per-gallon or better rating from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and be registered to an Oregon resident.

Once you’ve enrolled with your personal and vehicle information and selected your mileage reporting option, Azuga Insight for OReGO requires little effort. Depending on your chosen reporting method, simply follow the easy instructions to either plug in your device or submit your first manual odometer reading. Next, set up your digital Azuga Wallet with your payment method. All that’s left to do is to just drive. If you opted for a device, Azuga will automatically record and report the miles you drive. If you opted for the manual entry option, Azuga will guide you to periodically report your mileage. No matter which reporting option you choose, Azuga will automatically invoice road usage charges and alert you when your Wallet funds are low. You may pay by credit or debit card, check in the mail, or money order.

Nothing. The Azuga Insight mobile app and services are free. Your only cost is your road usage charge minus any fuel tax credits applied (up to a zero dollar balance). Azuga Insight services are free to OReGO participants as long as they are in the program.

Oregon registration fees are applied according to miles-per-gallon ratings, and vehicles getting 40 miles per gallon or better pay the highest fees. But, if enrolled in OReGO, drivers pay only the base registration fee ($43 per year) and a low, per-mile fee while they are in the program. Below is a chart of these fees and the possible savings.

Additional savings are possible when paying per-mile taxes, but it depends on your average mileage. For a better idea of what these savings look like for different mileages, go here.

For a vehicle you already own, simply sign up today and Azuga will send you an enrollment confirmation email. The next time you visit the DMV for registration renewal, show them your confirmation email to receive the discounted registration rate.

If you are purchasing a new vehicle, sign up online at the dealership once you have your temporary tag number. Azuga will send you an enrollment confirmation email within minutes. Show this to your dealership sales representative or finance manager to receive the discounted vehicle registration rate.

At this time, the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles is unable to offer a refund. You may, however, still choose to enroll into the OReGO program at any time and still receive the DMV registration fee waiver at your next renewal to skip the increased fee. Simply show the DMV representative the initial confirmation email you receive once you’ve enrolled with Azuga.

No. Azuga is working in partnership with and certified by ODOT to provide you with OReGO service but we're not a government agency. We are a private company. Azuga Inc. has been certified by ODOT to offer road usage charge (a.k.a. pay per mile tax) services for OReGO. Being certified means the Azuga Insight Platform has been carefully built and vetted to provide safe and secure OReGO operations.

This is a multi-phase study powered by The Eastern Transportation Coalition (TETC) to thoroughly test feasibility of a mileage-based user fee (MBUF) on the eastern seaboard. A cohort of 18 states, TETC is paving the way to a fair and sustainable funding system for the region and the country as a whole. Participants get to experience MBUF first-hand and help many states gather valuable information on the challenges and applications of per-mile fees in lieu of fuel tax. For more information, visit http://tetcoalitionmbuf.org.

The following four options exist with Azuga as your Account Manager: Plug-In Device With GPS, Plug-In Device Without GPS, Manual Entry, and Vehicle Telematics. The Plug-in devices are inserted into the OBD-II port on your vehicle. 

The GPS-enhanced device can differentiate miles by state. We simulate mileage-based user fees, less the state fuel tax paid, only on miles driven in The Eastern Transportation Coalition member states. This option also provides trip routes overlaid on a map for your personal use. 

The second device option has no GPS. All miles driven are billable (“billable” in a simulation sense only) using your home state rate.  

Azuga’s Manual Entry is a back-to-basics option providing the best privacy of all methods. You simply log in to your account and manually enter your odometer value on a monthly basis. A smartphone app is required for capturing odometer images that correspond to the monthly readings. No location enablement is necessary. 

The In-Vehicle Telematics option is available for most newer vehicles manufactured with connected vehicle systems which can be used to conveniently report mileage data automatically. Enable telematics on your vehicle (which may involve additional cost) and authorize Azuga to receive automated odometer readings by following the step-by-step instructions provided after enrollment.

The OBD-II port is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. In some cases, it may also be found in the center console or under the hood. If you are unable to find it, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for assistance, or contact us at 1 (800)-593-1876, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM Eastern Time. You can also reach us via email at tetcmbufsupport@azuga.com.

4. If you have any issues during this process, please call us at 1 (800)-593-1876, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM Eastern Time or email at tetcmbufsupport@azuga.com.

Odometer readings are due every month. We will send you reminders on a regular basis. Please let us know if you are not receiving these reminders. You will also be required to submit odometer readings upon enrollment, when exiting the program, or in the case of a mileage audit.

Every month, The Eastern Transportation Coalition and the participating State DOTs will receive aggregated vehicle mileage reports from Azuga.  The only participant-specific information they will receive from Azuga is based on each participating vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), provided when a participant signs up with Azuga.   

These reports will only contain the following information:

• Total miles traveled by each vehicle (identified by the VIN).
• Total miles traveled in each TETC state (for location-based approaches).
• The amount of simulated Mileage-Based User Fees less a credit for estimated state fuel taxes paid.
• Mileage reporting errors or malfunctions.

Azuga does not provide detailed location information (e.g., routes taken) to The Eastern Transportation Coalition, The Eastern Transportation Coalition member states, or any third party.

Yes. Azuga maintains all necessary security compliance protocols to protect personal identification information and financial transactions. Data is encrypted, stored on secure servers, and destroyed on a schedule set in accordance with the state departments of transportation and TETC MBUF Pilot.
