The delivery firms do pay gas taxes, of course, but as those vehicles become more fuel efficient and some switch to electric vehicles, gas taxes are falling woefully short of paying the bills. Not surprisingly, some states are exploring ways to recoup some of the lost revenues.

The necessary hypocrisy of living in late-stage capitalism while trying to build a better future.
