Road wear & safety: charge vehicle registration by weight and miles targets a $180B = 50 states x $3.6B average annual road maintenance & operations (state+local) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 3-6% annual public road maintenance spending growth; structural upside as fuel-tax revenues fall.
Key trends driving demand: Telematics ubiquity -- connected vehicles and cheap OBD-II/GNSS devices make per-mile measurement low-cost; EV adoption -- reducing fuel-tax revenue creates urgency to find alternative road funding; Data-driven policy -- governments are piloting VMT and usage-fee pilots, lowering political friction for new fee models.
Key competitors include EROAD, Samsara, Geotab, Conduent (and large government systems integrators).
