While the state's gas tax is going up on July 1 officials are saying they'll need even more money to fix the state's roads and infrastructure.
Tony Akel with the American Society of Civil Engineers tells KNX the two most recent gas tax increases are expected to raise $52 billion over the first 10 years.
Akel's group just did a survey on the state's roads and infrastructure, giving roads a "D" grade.
He says the funding should not just come from the state, but from local measures as well.
Starting July 1, California will be paying about six more cents per gallon for gas.
That's when the state's new gas tax will hit consumers -- it's a jump from 2016 when the state tax was 28 cents per gallon.
According to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the rates are in effect from July 1 to June 30, 2020:
The tax will increase from 41.7 cents to 47.3 cents per gallon.
In 2017, the state legislature passed a 10-year gas tax and fee increase, which hopes to ultimately raise $52 billion for transportation projects.
