Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled his proposal on Wednesday to funnel $11 billion back to taxpayers in the form of $400 debit cards along with a pause on gas taxes and three months of free public transportation as lawmakers look to lessen the pain of surging gas prices amid a booming budget surplus.

Under the proposal, registered vehicle owners would be eligible for $400 in payments for each vehicle they own, capped at two vehicles. There is no income limit to the direct cash back program, which includes electric vehicle owners but excludes people without cars. The direct payments would total $9 billion in relief, Newsom’s office said.
