Tell Lawmakers: Support a Luxury Vehicle Tax to Fund Trails and Electrification

  • Image of the Oregon Capitol with the words "Action Alert - one click" and a mouse cursor clicking near the words "Action Alert" and a graphic of a green coin and a luxury car image.

With just two weeks left in the legislative session, we are pushing lawmakers to support a new, 4% tax on luxury vehicles over $75,000 to fund critical programs not currently included in the state’s transportation package. This change to the transportation package will enable needed clean vehicle investments to reduce emissions, protect public health, and support Oregon jobs.

Tell your legislators to support a new luxury vehicle tax to fund critical programs that are currently missing from the bill!
