5/7/2021	Mary	Mathena	LCV	Virginia Beach	Virginia	I would like to see an emphasis on electric vehicles and more power stations as we get closer to 2030. This should be extended to public transportation of all kinds, including paratransit. I would like to see an emphasis on electric vehicles and more power stations as we get closer to 2030.

I believe SMART growth principles can bring housing and business into a configuration in which shared transportation is more efficient. Maintenance and upgrade of bridges and tracks used by trains is critical.	-

Raise taxes and reduce consumer spending. 3. Create a new level of inefficient and wasteful government bureaucracy. 4. Unconstitutional since only Congress can regulate interstate commerce. 5. Anti American due to the Marxist origins. I call on citizens to boycott and demonstrate against the money changers in government that have put forth this insidious scheme.	-

While it is not a perfect solution, it will move the ball forward to decrease air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, improve public health, and generate revenues to promote environmental justice. Transportation is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in the DMV (DC/MD/VA) region, and dangerous particulates can lead to health problems like asthma. Sooner, rather than later, in order to solve these problems we need to move to a clean transportation system, and a clean-energy economy.	-

I hope the program managers use lessons learned from other similar “cap and trade” programs, which involve emissions allowances, in order to create an effective system that reduces emissions quickly and equitably. I also hope the program discourages the use of carbon offsets in which participants take credit for emissions reductions while actually not reducing emissions. I hope the TCI-P Model Rule includes (1) a minimum investment amount to ensure overburdened and underserved communities in Virginia receive a greater-then-proportional share of investments from the program, (2) integration of air quality commitments across Virginia, and (3) robust empowerment of Virginia's Equity Advisory Body.
