San Diego Mileage Tax, SANDAG and Social Equity
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) has proposed a $163 billion transportation plan that includes a controversial tax of two to six cents for every mile driven. Proponents claim the investment will address traffic congestion and "social equity" by 2050, while opponents have held rallies to denounce the mileage tax as un-American. The proposal comes as California residents already face some of the highest fuel taxes and gas prices in the United States.
