Marylanders are paying more at the pump—not because legislators took a courageous vote, but because an automatic formula quietly ratchets the gas tax higher with inflation. That means higher prices for commuters, working families, and small businesses that move goods across our state.

We believe tax increases should never happen on autopilot. If politicians want more of your money, they should vote on it—publicly—and be accountable for that choice.

What we’re asking for

• A freeze on the automatic gas tax escalator.

• A requirement that any future gas tax hike receive an up-or-down vote by the General Assembly.

• An honest debate about transportation funding that prioritizes efficiency, transparency, and Maryland taxpayers.

Why it matters

• Gas prices hit every household and every delivery.

• Automatic hikes bypass accountability and hide the true cost of government.

• Requiring a vote restores transparency and gives Marylanders a voice.

Add your name if you agree it’s time to stop automatic gas tax increases and demand accountability in Annapolis.
