San Diego wants to tax people out of their cars and into public transportation

Fox News

San Diego County’s Regional Transportation Agency’s (SANDAG) latest transportation plan is designed to make driving so expensive that you succumb to public transportation. In addition to the current gas tax and registration fees, SANDAG’s plan adds three new half-cent sales tax increases, over 800 miles of San Diego County freeway lanes converted to toll lanes, and a mileage tax for every mile driven to pay for their $165 billion public mass transit plan.

SANDAG’s new plan refuses to build the road improvements promised in their last plan but will continue to tax us until 2048 to pay for them.

SANDAG’s finance plan states, "Charging fees for the transportation infrastructure that people use—for example, charging users for each mile they drive on the highway—can change travel behavior."

It’s a bait and switch -- freeway dollars, gas tax dollars, and registration fees promised for road improvements instead pay for costly public mass transit projects that less than 3% of the public uses.

California is a bellwether state for many liberal ideas and soon politicians may be proposing a similar per-mile tax in other states.

When you hear that proposal just remember, the government is no longer trying to do what is necessary, they’re now trying to change your mind and behavior.




It's the Great Reset. Forcing us into cities, breaking them into districts, and using public transportation.

They won't stop until we stop them.
