Important Vehicle Mileage Tax Update - A Positive Development
Earlier this year, the Oceanside Chamber partnered with 18 different Chambers of Commerce to form the San Diego Business Coalition. The goal of the group is to educate the community and businesses about proposed policies that will negatively impact San Diegans. San Diego Elected Officials are looking to impose a new VEHICLE MILEAGE TAX to charge drivers PER MILE that we drive. This pilot program will then be implemented for all California drivers. Recently, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria wrote a letter stating that he will ask the Sandag staff to find a different mechanism of funding for the Regional Transportation Plan instead of Vehicle Miles Traveled. This is a huge development in our efforts to defeat the Vehicle Mileage Tax. We will continue to keep you informed and up-to-date on this pressing issue. Learn more about the VMT.

This program will use a person-centered, trauma-informed care model. More details.
