Stop $1B in additional taxes,$15.5B over 10 years.
The Act says that diesel will be taxed in the same way that gas is taxed now. The Act increases and adds taxes related to roads, cars, trucks and buses and says how revenue must be used. The Act would make the per-mile road usage charge mandatory for registered owners and lessees of vehicles over time beginning with electric vehicles on July 1, 2026. The Act would let a person pay a yearly fee instead of the per-mile road usage charge. The Act tells the Division of Audits to do performance audits of ODOT.
Out of 751 testimonies the first day, twice as many oppose as those that support. This bill will cost Oregonians over $1 billion per year. This bill cuts a blank check to bureaucrats on the backs of Oregonians. Oregon already has more transportation dollars to spend for transportation than most other states.
Many DMV fees doubled last year. We ask politicians to stop wasting our transportation dollars. For instance; $61 million to study tolling. $200 million for an I-5 Columbia River bridge never built. $134 million and $19 million to build expensive bridges in high traffic jam areas (Tillikum, Blumenauer) that forbids cars. Highway 20 Eddyville Project exceeded its budget by $200 million. Passing HB 2025 proposed taxes will only double the wasteful spending and problems.
Over 35 taxes and fee increases including: a new sales tax on cars (in addition to the privilege tax you’re already paying), and a tripling of the tax on your wages, a driver’s test for non-commercial vehicles (Class C) will go from $9 to $45, the cost of a commercial driver’s skill test will increase from $70 to $145, and Commercial Driver’s License Renewal (CDL) fee will increase from $61 to $104. In addition:
Oregon has nation’s #10 highest gas tax
… as lawmakers eye + 37.5% increase
Oregon nation’s #3 highest car title fee
… as lawmakers eye +137% increase
Oregon nation’s #3 highest license plate fee
… as lawmakers eye +175% increase
Oregon only state with statewide transit wage tax (.1%)
… as lawmakers eye +300% increase
Ask legislators to bring LC 4934 for hearing, which is a no tax increase transportation package.

People are barely getting by now, what are you doing to Oregon? You’re destroying her. You cannot pass 2025. It’s ridiculously high. If you do this to the truckers all of our food everything we buy will go up. They pay high road tax as it is now leave truckers alone.. Vote no no 2025 you will destroy the senior citizens you will destroy the young kids that are just starting out. Do you want more homeless I guess Portland does. If anything ,we should be voting on this pile of dog due.
