Gas Tax Bill Would Pay Pollution Transit Costs
Sacramento AUPI The Senate Transportation Committee approved a bill to impose the state sales tax on gasoline to raise money for pollution control and transit. Authored by Sen Alfred E. Alquist D San Jose the bill was approved on a split voice vote and sent to the Senate Finance Committee. It would deposit money from the sales tax via state transit and environmental trust fund and require counties to set up a transit fund and deposit their share in the fund. Nida and Fraser opposed saying it would be inequitable to single out motorists. State and federal taxes on gasoline total 13 cents a gallon. Money from the state trust fund would go to the State Transportation Board and the Air Resources Board for research in noise abatement and air pollution. Local governments could use transit funds only for transportation and highway purposes approved by the state transportation board.
