The Mayor of San Marcos explained what SANDAG's proposed mileage tax would do to her constituents. Full Interview:
SAN DIEGO – The mileage tax, proposed by some of San Diego’s most influential leaders within SANDAG, could cost citizens up to four cents per gallon.
In the final months of 2021, SANDAG approved a transportation plan worth $165 billion with the aim of adding a 200 mile regional rail network and eliminating fares for public transit. Due to controversy, the mileage tax was eliminated from the plan as a viable means of paying for the new infrastructure. However, eight months later the coalition of local leaders voted to put the tax back on the table for discussion. Many San Diegans feel betrayed.
KUSI’s Ginger Jeffries was live with Mayor Rebecca Jones of the City of San Marcos to discuss what a mileage tax would do to San Diegans and what other means exist to fund this transportation plan.
