By Taxpayers Association of Oregon

Taxpayers Association Oregon urges No on #120

Oregon gas taxes have been soaring for nearly a decade.

2018 + 4 cents — a +13% increase
2020 + 2 cents — a +5% increase
2022 + 2 cents — a +5% increase
2024 + 2 cents — a +5% increase
2025 + 6 cents — a +15% increase (under HB 3991 which was sent to ballot)
Total = 46 cents

This chart proves ODOT has more money.

This chart shows you have been paying more.

This chart shows you have been paying more every 2 years.

Yet, ODOT and politicians decided to triple their tax increase in 2025 compared to previous years. Triple! That is too much. Too fast. ODOT should balance their tax increases with taxpayers’ ability to pay it. They should be modest and fair. Measure 120 is neither modest or fair. No on #120.
