Personally don’t think this is the right path at all and is going to effect rural, poor and anyone without proper public transit (soooo a ton of people) unfairly. I understand the idea behind it but there are so many better ways to deal with the driving problem they’ve created.
This is going to hurt rural people real bad. When I was in the city I had jobs any where from .5 to 12 miles away, after moving to bumfuck nowhere the closest good job I could get was 36 miles. Hell in the city there were 3 grocery stores within a half mile radius now the closest shitty one is 12 miles away and almost 40 to get to a decent one.
In conclusion fuck everything about this.
yes i propose something much more reasonable that doesn’t negatively impact poor rural folks like taxing fuel on a per gallon basis (which, of course, has zero relationship to miles travelled) and continuing to subsidize declining gas revenues with money from the general fund
