Road maintenance fee was abolished on December 22, 2008. Here are the relevant details: 1. Road maintenance fee: Specifically refers to the administrative fee collected by China from vehicles traveling on ordinary roads, exclusively used for the construction and maintenance of ordinary roads. 2. Highway maintenance fee: Collected by the state from vehicle owners and units based on the principle of "using roads to maintain roads, with funds earmarked for specific purposes", used for road maintenance, repairs, technical upgrades, improvements, and management. Its purpose is similar to "toll fees" and expressway tolls. 3. Basis for road maintenance fee: Collected according to the "Highway Law of the People's Republic of China", the "Highway Administration Regulations" of the State Council, and relevant provisions of the Ministry of Transport. Specific standards are set by provinces, cities, and autonomous regions, and they vary. 4. Implementation of road maintenance fee: Calculated based on vehicle tonnage, with the month as the basic payment period. Special circumstances evolve from this basic principle.
