Yes, either way, the comsumer pays.

But, if truck operators are charged for the cost of the highways
they consume, while rail operators maintain the rails, we might just
find some mode-competition.  Perhaps companies who ship by rail or
by air will pay less than those who ship by truck.  If so, their
products might cost the end-user (consumer) less. With no class
subsidizing any other, the market will tend to find the best
solution.
