Improvements for SoCal Freeways are in jeopardy.

We must stop Assembly Bills 6&7.

Working Families Deserve Better

  • Reduced traffic
  • Improved safety
  • Increased access to economic opportunity
  • Equity in transportation

California has already established guidelines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, tasking several state agencies with engagement and oversight. AB 6 and 7 are redundant measures that inhibit local planning at the expense of working families. The bills will force communities that have long contended with burdensome commutes and ineffective transportation options to accept being locked out of infrastructure developments – the key to upward economic mobility – while wealthier communities in California have seen state-of-the-art infrastructure investments both prioritized and realized in their neighborhoods.

Join us in telling Sacramento that we refuse to once again leave working families behind

We are committed to improving access to economic opportunity for working families. Regional transportation agencies are familiar with and can engage in conversations with local residents as integrated members of the community, delivering infrastructure projects that best serve regional needs. AB 6 and 7 showcase that Sacramento is disconnected from the local communities our electeds are meant to serve: transportation projects reduce commute times, increase the number of available, well-paid jobs, and enable working families to get home sooner.

We strongly urge you to oppose AB 6 and 7.

FAQs

AB 6 would require regional planning agencies to prioritize transportation funding for projects according to state planning targets, rather than local community need, discounting historical underinvestment that disproportionately impacts California’s working families. AB 6 hinders local agencies’ ability to serve constituents, forcing Californians to contend with longer, heavily congested commutes, and impeding access to opportunities that provide upward economic mobility.

AB 7 would eliminate regional transportation agencies’ ability to prioritize and fund projects that serve local interests, adding layers of complicated bureaucracy to infrastructure development. The bill would position Sacramento – instead of impacted communities – as the judge of a project’s value in cases where local transportation agencies are better fit to prioritize projects based on community engagement, existing capacity, regional need, and safety.

Yes. AB 6 and AB 7 are ineffective bills that will hinder the ability for regional transportation agencies to conduct planning and engagement at the local level, even though the state has established plans and oversight agencies to implement and track the states’ progress metrics. The result harms the communities most impacted by underinvestment, and leaves working families without access to safer, faster means of travel.

Yes. AB 6 and 7 will reduce the number of good paying trade jobs, as well as safe, shortened commute times for workers. By opposing AB 6 and 7, the state will be reaffirming its commitment to economic development, job creation, and equitable community investments, creating pathways to the middle class for California’s working families.
