“San Diegans aren’t interested in a mileage tax, and neither are we.” “This is absolutely not related to the vehicle-mileage tax,” she said. Newsom said the ballot proposal she’s spearheading has nothing to do with these so-called road charges. California launched a road charge pilot in 2015 at the direction of the state legislature, and Utah and Oregon have already started experimenting with such fees. The long-range planning agency recently faced backlash over a proposal to collect per-mile fees from drivers starting in 2030. However, the agency would be bound by the language in the ballot proposal. SANDAG’s 21-member board of directors comprised of elected officials from around the region would be in charge of administering the new funding.
