Here's my scheme, not that yours is bad in any way, mind you -
Tax vehicles on the number of miles commuting to work. Make the employer pay it.
Such a scream would go up, it would trouble all the right people: employers who pay shyte wages and employees drive long miles..

Both of these would be better solved by a Land Value Tax and Dividend. Read Progress and Poverty by Henry George. By taxing the unimproved value of land, you force people into more efficiently using it or else the government would seize it and sell it to someone who would. The tax would be redistributed after covering the cost of local amenities.
