Working Families in Ventura County Deserve Better
- Reduced traffic on the 101
- Improved safety
- Improved air quality
- Increased access to economic opportunity
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 jeopardize local planning efforts and circumvent public engagement processes at the expense of working families.
Importantly, the efforts propelling AB 6 and 7 will inhibit forward momentum on key projects, including significant highway improvements on the mainline of the 101 freeway through Ventura County that would add regular, carpool, or auxiliary lanes and ramps. Meanwhile, wealthier communities in Ventura have seen state-of-the-art infrastructure investments both prioritized and realized in their neighborhoods.
If AB 6 & 7 pass, they would prohibit and could delay the use of state and local funding for road improvement projects to relieve congestion and improve safety, such as widening or new lanes approved by local voters.

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 Ventura County’s working families while addressing environmental, health, and community impacts. Regional electeds are familiar with and can engage in conversations with local residents as integrated members of the community, delivering highway improvements alongside multimodal investments in transit, bike, and pedestrian access and providing efficient overall mobility for all County residents using the 101 corridor.
AB 6 and 7 showcase that Sacramento is disconnected from the local communities our electeds are meant to serve. Infrastructure developments are key for upward economic mobility: we must not break longstanding commitments to equitably developing transportation options for Ventura County.
Ask your elected representative to support working families and vote NO on Assembly Bills 6 and 7.
Hundreds of thousands of people are forced to sit on congested roadways across Ventura County, and AB 6&7 would make this problem worse. It’s time for the legislature to find real solutions for traffic relief on our freeways, and these bills would set us back.
Freeway congestion and smog from idling cars make air quality worse, which is why we need leaders to deliver on long-promised transportation projects that improve our environment and quality of life.
Please vote no on AB 6&7.
