Subject: State-Wide Fuel Fee
From: Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Supporting Enactment Of State Legislation That Would Create A New State-Wide "Fuel Fee" That Would Serve The Following Purposes: (1) To Create A Reliable Ongoing Funding Stream For Local Street And Road Maintenance And Transit Operations; (2) To Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions; (3) To Promote Energy Independence; (4) To Reduce Traffic Congestion And Improve Transportation Conditions; And (5) To Help To Address The Budget Crisis That The City Of Oakland, As Well As Other Jurisdictions Throughout The State Are Facing Which Has Severely Reduced The Amount Of Revenue That Is Available To Maintain Vital Local Street And Road Infrastructure
