FISHERS, Ind. -- The Fishers City Council approved a wheel tax Monday night.  The vote was unanimous but two council members weren't present.

The money generated from the tax will help fund future road maintenance projects in the city. 

A new road funding bill approved in 2016 by the Indiana Legislature allows cities with a population of more than 10,000 to implement a wheel tax.

Fishers will collect $25 per registered vehicle but the tax won't kick in until 2018.
