California Lawmakers Approve Gas Tax To Pay For $52 Billion Infrastructure Plan

California’s transportation systems have gone unrepaired and unexpanded for decades.

The measure will increase the excise tax on gasoline by 12 cents per gallon from the current $0.28 and on diesel fuel by 20 cents per gallon, among other fees, over 10 years. The money will be used for repairs to roads and bridges as well as for anti-congestion projects.

Owners of electric vehicles, who do not use gasoline and would not pay the gas tax, would have to pay a $100 fee to help repair roads. The fees and taxes should raise about $5.2 billion per year.

The average motorist in California will see costs increase by about $10 a month, according to Democrats, the Sacramento Bee newspaper reported.
