It will cost consumers and businesses too much at the gas pump and have a negative impact on average citizens, truckers, and businesses alike. This has the same effect as a 50 cent direct tax at the pump for every gallon of gas for all Virginians using fuel and a consequent dampening effect on our economy. Please do not sign on to this TCI Initiative.	-

I call for the TCI-P Model Rule to include (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. Rapidly reducing carbon emissions from transportation through more robust public transit and multimodal options and conversion of vehicles to electric or zero-carbon fuels is essential to avoiding the worst consequences of the climate crisis.	-

Investing in transportation infrastructure that serves to reduce our climate emissions also serves to support those communities who have traditionally been ignored by decision-makers, and is an important way to combat the rising inequality in our state, and in our country.	-

You are accomplishing NOTHING -- CO2 is what plants need, and plants give us OXYGEN back. The Chinese are busy scarfing up all of the world's fossil fuels so that they will be the engines of the world -- while IDIOTS like you are starving us all. We have: world-wide commodity shortages, increased production and raw material costs, , a stock market bubble, and an increase in monetary growth by 336 percent over the last 12 months… inflation is building rapidly… Soon no one will be able to afford ANYTHING let alone TRANSPORTATION. WHY are you making Virginians suffer? HOW will this "save the planet"????? Are you INSANE??? (Answer: yes) The elites who rule this country, and especially VIRGINIA, are stupid, selfish, careless, destructive and will cause world-wide suffering and devastation. This is how Hitler came to power. OH WAIT, HITLER IS ALREADY IN POWER.	-
