Issue Position: Transportation and Infrastructure

Issue Position

Key to our economy and our quality of life, transportation must be a priority in Sacramento. When I served on the SCAG Transportation Subcommittee and currently as a council member, the need for increased investment in our transportation system has been one of my focus areas. Now the state has admitted to diverting billions in back taxes and fees from infrastructure spending and has instead demanded a new 52 billion dollar tax and fee increase on drivers. Our focus needs to return to traffic mitigation, road maintenance, and access to sensible mass transit, not just throwing billions of new tax dollars at a broken system.
