华盛顿7月27日路透电 —— 美国第十巡回上诉法院周一维持科罗拉多州针对租车收取每日3美元拥堵影响费的政策，驳回了代表安飞士、赫兹、企业租车等公司的行业协会提起的诉讼。
科罗拉多州2024年批准对租期30天及以内的租车收取该费用，以应对租车对公共道路造成的影响。该州表示，这笔资金将用于支持公共交通和轨道交通服务投资，缓解交通拥堵。

该费用每年将根据通胀情况调整，并适用于共享汽车项目以及搬家卡车等大型车辆。
提起本次法律诉讼的美国汽车租赁协会未立即回应置评请求。上诉法院维持了下级法院此前认定该费用合法的裁决。
争议焦点在于1972年以来美国国会通过的多项法案，这些法案将针对航空乘客和航空商业的本地税收禁令扩大至商业服务机场内的企业以及其他企业。2018年的一项法律规定，不得对机场企业征收本地税，除非税款完全用于机场或航空相关用途。

法院以2比1的投票结果认定该费用合法，理由是缴费者为租车人而非租车企业，并补充称，这些旅客将受益于该费用资助的地面交通基础设施项目。
今年3月，美国纽约一名法官表示，美国交通部要求终止曼哈顿拥堵定价计划的行为非法，这对唐纳德·特朗普总统取消该收费的企图造成打击。

WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) – The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday upheld Colorado’s $3-per-day congestion impact charge on rental cars, turning down a challenge from an industry group representing Avis, Hertz, Enterprise and others.
Colorado approved the fee in 2024 on rentals of 30 days or less to address the impact of rental cars on public roads. The state said the funding would support investments in transit and rail services, reducing traffic congestion.

The fee is raised annually to adjust for inflation and applies to car-sharing programs and larger vehicles like moving trucks.
The American Car Rental Association, which brought the legal challenge, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The appeals court upheld a lower court ruling that previously found the fee legal.
At issue are laws passed by Congress since 1972 that expanded prohibitions on local taxes on air passengers and air commerce to businesses located at commercial service airports and businesses. A 2018 law said local taxes could not be imposed for airport businesses unless wholly utilized for airport or aeronautical purposes.

The court in a 2-1 ruling found the fee was valid since the payers are the people who rent vehicles and not car rental businesses, and added that the travelers are those who will benefit from the services provided by surface transportation infrastructure projects funded by the fee.
In March, a U.S. judge in New York said the U.S. Transportation Department’s effort to force an end to Manhattan’s congestion pricing program was illegal, a blow to President Donald Trump’s attempts to eliminate the charge.
