In an effort to keep Gilroy voters informed, GGS has invited the 2024 candidates for Mayor and City Council to answer a series of questions on quality-of-life issues. Thank you all who participated, for your willingness to share your thoughts with our community!

QUESTION 4: The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) have developed a long-range plan for the nine Bay Area counties called Plan Bay Area 2050. Two of their seven transportation funding strategies are to increase toll roads and to charge drivers for vehicle miles traveled (this option would be implemented only if the state eliminates the current gas tax). How do you feel about these options and how would they impact Gilroy residents?

ANSWERS:

Candidate ZACH HILTON responded, declining the invitation. Candidates KELLY RAMIREZ and FRED TOVAR did not respond.
