As of January 1, 2023, a Highway Use Fee will be imposed on certain carriers for the privilege of operating, or causing to be operated, certain heavy, multi-unit motor vehicles on any highway (i.e., public road) in Connecticut. The Connecticut Highway Use Fee is calculated based on an eligible motor vehicle’s weight and the number of miles driven in Connecticut.
