Transportation

By Michele M. (Bernard) Nash-Hoff

Candidate for Member of the State Assembly; District 76

This information is provided by the candidate
I want to maintain and improve California's transportation infrastructure to reduce traffic gridlock and improve quality of life.
Transportation - California's highway infrastructure has not kept pace with suburban sprawl, population growth, and vehicle miles traveled. Therefore, to maintain and improve transportation infrastructure, I would sponsor or support programs that would:

· Fast-track completion of SR 56 and SR 125 to Poway, thus reducing traffic on I-5 and I-15.

· Open up HOV lanes on I-15.

· Double track the Coaster from Oceanside to San Diego.

· Ensure that all gasoline taxes, including sales taxes on gasoline, are devoted to funding highway construction and maintenance.

· Provide tax incentives to companies to encourage telecommuting and flexible work schedules.

· Support the Assembly Republicans' "2020 Vision for Roads," which would commit $125 billion over 20 years to adequately fund and maintain roads, highways, and mass transit in order to alleviate regional traffic gridlock.
