Let me google that for you: https://frontiergroup.org/resources/who-pays-roads/

There are literally tens of thousands of articles like this one.

TLDR:

  • less than 50% of car infrastructure cost is paid for by driving related taxes
  • An average of $1100 in general tax per household per year is used to subsidise driving
  • Car infrastructure receives more subsidies from general tax than transit, passenger rail, cycling and pedestrian programs combined.

No, drivers pull their own weight in regards to car related taxes.
