Taxing diesel more will not only increase the fuel tax, but our food supply, as well as everything else being transported by the trucking industry. Electric vehicle are way out of the reach of the average citizen, especially us folks living on a fixed income. Climate has been changing for millions of years, and will continue to do so.	-

I'm also tired of the terrible traffic due to a underdeveloped and underfunded public transportation system. The Transportation and Climate Initiative Program (TCI-P) is a welcome step forward to addressing this major source of pollution, while steering needed investments in a modern, sustainable transportation system. I fully support cleaning up our environment and reducing traffic in the area. Please invest at least half of our TCI revenue in programs and infrastructure that will lower this disproportionate pollution burden. Thank you.	-

I think that Amazon is doing the right thing by creating more electric vehicles including tractor trailer electric vehicles in order to reduce the carbon footprint which is a result of using diesel fuel powered vehicles.	-

Unfortunately, we... read more I'm sharing my input here because I support a strong TCI-P Model Rule that ensures meaningful climate action to address Virginia's largest driver of our climate crisis. Unfortunately, we no longer have the luxury of wasting time on the climate crisis. Luckily, a TCI-P Model Rule can actually benefit us in more ways than just addressing climate action. it also can direct significant investments to correcting historic inequities in overburdened and underserved communities and affords Virginia the opportunity for a cleaner, healthier transportation system. Any calls to reject or weaken the TCI Program are direct calls to ignore climate change and promote pollution. I also support the TCI-P Model Rule to include a minimum investment amount to ensure overburdened and underserved communities in Virginia receive a greater-then-proportional share of investments from the program, integration of air quality commitments across Virginia, and robust empowerment of Virginia's Equity Advisory Body. This is an opportunity for Virginia to take care of its most underserved and unprotected citizens.	-

Virginia must move forward to do its share in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, and regional compacts are a smart and economically sound tool to help with that. So, my bottom line is that VIRGINIA'S PARTICIPATION is essential. The exact nature of it isn't nearly as important as making sure we are participating.	-
