Say No to the Transportation Excise Tax Proposals

Urge the Pennsylvania Senate Leadership to Rethink this Excise Tax

Call Your Elected Officials

Americans for Prosperity–Pennsylvania (AFP-PA), the Commonwealth’s largest grassroots advocacy organization, is raising concerns about transportation-related tax and fee proposals currently being discussed as part of the state budget negotiations.

We’ve heard that ideas similar to those in Senate Bill 796 are being seriously looked at as a way to fix funding gaps for public transit. These ideas include:

Raising the daily car rental fee from $2 to $6.50
Adding a new, unspecified excise fee on ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft
Increasing the vehicle lease tax from 3 percent to 5 percent

At Americans for Prosperity we believe we must be living within our means and can't afford to spend ourselves into a structural deficit.

Call your State Senator and tell them you do not support transportation-related tax and fee proposals being added to the budget!

We believe these transportations related tax hikes are the wrong move, especially since Pennsylvania is already dealing with a structural budget deficit.

Call your lawmakers today to tell them that increasing taxes on consumers to prop up unsustainable systems is the wrong approach!
