CONGESTION PRICING: The Next Step CALIFORNIA is Taking to Make Driving a Car Too Expensive.
"AB 3059, as introduced, Bloom. Congestion pricing demonstration
pilot projects.
(1) Existing law provides for the development of a congestion
management program for each county that includes an urbanized area
by a designated congestion management agency. Existing law authorizes
the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District to jointly adopt a commute benefit
ordinance that requires covered employers operating within the common
area of the 2 agencies with a specified number of covered employees
to offer those employees certain commute benefits.
This bill would authorize 2 congestion pricing demonstration projects
in northern California and 2 in southern California. The bill would
define “congestion pricing†to mean the assessment of a charge on
motor vehicles using local streets and roads in a participating
jurisdiction, which charge could vary based on the time of day or the
day of the week. The bill would require the governing body of an eligible
participating jurisdiction, as defined, to adopt a congestion pricing
ordinance containing various elements, and would require the proposed
ordinance to be approved by the applicable congestion management
agency subject to a finding that the proposed demonstration project is
likely to be successful.
The bill would require a charge by a congestion
pricing ordinance to be imposed consistent with the California
Constitution and federal law. The bill would enact other related
provisions."

If you're having a little bit of an issue in interpreting whats being said under all of the legalese terms and jargon; there are a few things already out there but this is perhaps the most blunt explanation in video format since few like to read and prefer pictures with story time. Residents of california are about to really start taking in the pooper sideways and pay to say they love it!!
It wasnt enough to hike up your registration fees, it's not going to be enough to raise your gas cost at the bump another $1.47 a gallon, its not enough that they've swiped out full lanes of much needed traffic space for their self made problems so they could put in Green-ways to give you a hint your ass should be on a bike and not in a car. Lets not forget the already rising costs to live in sunshine nonstop. But they are gonna come at you from charging you by the mile soon and charge you to drive in general in and out of specific areas.
They keep us all busy enough working and to not attend city meetings because of illegally held times to be able to voice an opinion or vote on these things and of course your silence in any matter is consent... Sorry guys but thanks for reminding me why I left that state.
