The road use assessment fee (RUAF) replaces the weight-mile tax for the loaded portion of non-divisible hauls, when the vehicle's combined weight is more than 98,000 pounds. A Variance Permit, called an Overweight Permit or STP is required and usually is valid for one or more trips within a 10 day period.

The RUAF Mileage screen on the Tax tab displays your RUAF and STP information for the selected reporting period. The information displayed is per vehicle and permit.

Automatic import of STPs

Your STPs will be automatically imported into MyEROAD each night from the Oregon Department of Transport (ODOT) at 11pm (PST), and display on your RUAF Mileage page. However, you can choose to manually request a STP import from ODOT by clicking Import STP numbers on your RUAF Mileage screen at any time to retrieve STP information held by ODOT, instantly updating MyEROAD. This will only import the STPs for the month selected, pre-paid permits will not be included.

NOTE: In order for ODOT to release vehicle information to EROAD, the appropriate Power of Attorney form needs to be completed and submitted through EROAD.

Assign STPs to Trips

To ensure that tax information for your fleet is up-to-date before filing a report with ODOT, you have to assign STPs to trips in your system.

Trips of vehicles without an Ehubo cannot be automatically recorded in MyEROAD. To enable you to submit one RUAF report per reporting period for your entire fleet, you can add STP information to vehicles that do not have an Ehubo installed or have an Ehubo installed during the reporting period (marked with  next to the unit number).
