The Rule should mandate integration of air quality comments across Virginia. Finally, the Rule should ensure an effective role for Virginia’s Equity Advisory Body.

It is critical that we all urgently work to reduce the biggest source of GHG emissions in our Commonwealth – transportation. TCI-P will help our county and all of Virginia improve air quality near roads and highways, lower health problems like asthma, lower healthcare costs and generate revenue for many environmental initiatives! This will particularly correct historic inequities in overburdened and underserved communities that are more greatly impacted by environmental pollution. We must have a vision to move toward a future using clean, renewable energy. TCI-P can help us do that. |

This area has so much traffic, thus so much pollution, that my grandmother was afraid to even go outside in the 1980s. We made improvements, then Trump took us backward, when we hadn't gone nearly far enough as it was. We must, must, must see this happen. |

The TCI-P Model Rule addresses racial injustice as it invests in underserved communities and will help provide a cleaner, healthier transportation system for Virginia. Investing in a clean economy for Virginia, is a win as it will improve air quality, lower health care costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and generate revenue for other environmental initiatives to further accelerate our progress. |

Overburdened and underserved communities have historically borne a disproportionate burden from transportation emission impacts including diesel exhaust from heavy duty vehicles that traverse their communities. As such, I would like 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.
Thank you for your consideration. |

I strongly support the TIC-P Model Rule, with its focus upon the largest driver of greenhouse gas emissions and upon underserved communities. It is time to come together to think about our children and grandchildren and forget about politics. |

I support a strong TCI-P Model Rule that:
(1) Ensures meaningful climate action to address Virginia's largest driver of our climate crisis,
(2) Directs significant investments to correcting historic inequities in overburdened and underserved communities;
(3) Affords Virginia the opportunity for a cleaner, healthier transportation system.
For too long business interests and lobbyists have steered public policy. It is time for things to change before it is too late.

More creative transit ideas must emerge instead.
VDOT & Transurban have long pursued this Land-grab without realistically considering the Significant Climate and Community Impacts.
In a small McLean, VA Area.... from Georgetown Pike (193) to George Washington Parkway....they want to Add 4 New HOTLanes, 2 New Bridges, Wider Elevated Access Lanes, and 3 Elevated Flyover Ramps at the GW Parkway Area.
There are 4 Schools within 1 mile of this proposed HOTLanes Area...with Cooper Middle School immediately Adjacent to 495 Beltway. There is also Langley Open Air Swim Club, with 1000 members, adjacent to 495.....and several adjacent Neighborhoods.
VDOT elected to do only a minimum EA, not and EIS. In-depth Factual Increased Environment Impacts have Not been Considered.
Increased Pollution, Noise and Stormwater are Not being Mitigated.
Construction Silica Dust has not been adequately studied, which poses many health concerns and is especially dangerous for Children.
Requests for Air Monitors for this already Polluted Beltway Area have been ignored. Air Monitors should be in place now and monitored for the Safety of our Children and Community.
The GW Parkway Area is currently a Jammed Merge Area before the American Legion Bridge and causes great Pollution from all the Idling Merging Cars.
Adding More HOTLanes to this Northern Merge Area will create MORE CONGESTION BACKUPS for 495, Local Access Lanes, Local Neighborhoods, McLean CBC, Corridors: 193-123-Old Dominion, TYSONS and the Region.
There are Major Climate Impact Concerns Resulting....along with Social Justice P3 issues.
If the 495Beltway Corridor is Congested with Traffic.... National Security Issues are also of Major Concern.
There must be a Better Solution for our Climate & the Community Wellbeing.
Thank you......April Georgelas
