Transportation
49. Freedom to Travel
Lawmakers must take action immediately to protect drivers from governmentmandated remote kill switches that are currently scheduled to be in every vehicle starting in 2026, to prevent this unconstitutional surveillance of drivers and the weaponization of this technology against Texas drivers. We oppose climate mandates like Net Zero, Vision Zero, or declarations of a climate emergency that threaten our freedom to travel, impose any sort of state or federal mileage tax, or institute diversity, equity, and inclusion policies on taxpayers and drivers. We oppose anti-car measures that punish those who choose to travel alone in their vehicles. We also oppose mandates such as autonomous vehicle technology, digital IDs, digital license plates, or other mandates that restrict, control, or prohibit driving (particularly gas-powered vehicles), shrink auto capacity, or intentionally clog vehicle lanes to force deference to pedestrian, bike, and mass transit options
