EXCERPT:

Others, like the California Alliance for Jobs and the Fix Our Roads Coalition, are worried that the decrease in funding from gas taxes will lead to the deterioration of state roads and infrastructure over time.

“Losing tens of billions of dollars in infrastructure funding will decimate the quality of our roads and bridges, jeopardize safety, decrease mobility, cripple public transit, and result in more traffic congestion,” said Michael Quigley, executive director of the California Alliance for Jobs, in a statement.

Quigley also believes jobs will be lost as a result of the Advanced Clean Cars II rule.

“Reductions in funding of that magnitude will destroy hundreds of thousands of middle-class construction careers,” Quigley said. “We need California’s leaders to come up with solutions to replace this funding now rather than waiting until it’s too late.”

EXCERPT: One estimate is that, by 2040, the state will be short $30 billion due to lost gas-tax revenue.

That money goes to fund a majority of infrastructure projects and without it there may be a bumpy road ahead for California drivers.

“We move to an all-electric fleet, we are going to structurally defund our transportation system,” said Michael Quigley with the Fix Our Roads Coalition.

Quigley feels that the hard deadline of 2035 to go electric will be a tough one to meet.

“We support the transition to the green future. We believe climate change is real and needs to be addressed however we can’t do it in a way that totally disrupts our society,” he added.

The Fix Our Roads coalition is asking the governor and California Air Resources Board to identify alternate sources of revenue but nothing has been formally determined yet.
