A solution would be fairly straightforward in acknowledging BOTH the desire to affect behavior AND the need to fund infrastructure (education, roads) BUT we all know that can't happen the way the sausage is made currently. For example because the general fund largely does NOT fund infrastructure (but funds bureaucrats, govt retirees, debt, etc) and because it's hard to BOTH, say, incentivize electric vehicles AND recognize that their usage must now be taxed also in order to fund ... wait no, not just fund road maintenance but fund everything in general, just like the tax on gas vehicles did.
Pickle, pickle but well deserved? The sausage recipe has become complicated enough that it's hard to make it palatable to anyone. And yet, as things stand, the whole pot largely does need to be funded. That is, the funding model deserves to be changed, but cannot be changed instantly.
