Stop the Approval of Mileage Taxation on California Residents


Stop the Approval of Mileage Taxation on California Residents
The Issue
Mileage taxation, the process of taxing residents based on the distance they travel, presents a burden on California's working-class citizens who commute long distances for work. As California continues to grapple with economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, implementation of such a tax threatens to exacerbate the financial challenges faced by many Californians. Despite the intentions of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and funding transportation projects, the potential socio-economic impacts cannot be ignored (Source: Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis). We call upon Governor Gavin Newsom and all political parties in California to reconsider such measures, keeping in mind the well-being of all residents. Sign this petition to stand against the approval of a mileage taxation in California.
