We need a modern, sustainable transportation system that centers on people, not cars. The solution must include more train service, inexpensive public transportation, and bikeable/walkable communities, as well as electric vehicles. The TCI is a step in the right direction, and I fully support it.	-

The policies of the TCI to reduce carbon emission will result in increased costs for energy and gasoline. These costs will be a burden to businesses and consumers, costs which will impact negatively on low income Virginia residents. The resulting increases in taxes and consumer prices will be a act as a flat tax on all residents. More businesses and residents will leave Virginia for low-tax, business friendly states.	-

In the face of all the development of electric and hydrogen technology, here in the UK, we have developed the simple, cheap Rankine Cycle engine to use bioethanol rocket fuel to produce the high torque required by HGVs and buses. It can, of course be used effectively in smaller vehicles but the greatest demand is as a power source for the larger and off-road vehicles. I don’t have to explain bioethanol to you, that the US is the world’s largest manufacturer and that the industry works at the behest of the oil companies. The two-cylinder engine may require some simple explanation and we’ll be pleased to answer queries. The reference to rocket fuel is because, in WW2, the Germans bombed Britain with V2 (A4) rockets that travelled at a height of 128 miles at a speed of 3,500 mph fuelled by 75% bioethanol, the other 25% was water! Please ease up on natural gas, it’s far from clean. Looking forward to hearing from you See www.cleanclimate.co.uk	-

It penalizes those who communte long distance and offers no benefits to either the state's road systems. Studies indicate this regressive form of taxation will not have the desired effects on the enviornment, actually providing negligible benefits while disprapotionately imposing higher commuting costs on low and middle income families.	-

Instead of a flat percentage, currently 35%, this would ensure that there’s enough money to make meaningful investments in our most vulnerable communities.	-
