Obfuscating costs and increasing the complexity makes no sense.

Variable rate tolling on roads to disincentivize unnecessary travel by individual car makes more sense.

Then the companies will just tell you to suck it up and pay the tax yourself, or they'll find someone else.

And that someone else will also have to pay the tolls.

Therefore both employer and employee will be incentivized to locate in places with higher density housing to reduce costs.
