TCI-P is a win-win proposition that will improve air quality and people's health while generating revenue to help participating states speed the transition to a clean-energy economy. And it will help us leave a livable environmental to our grandchildren and theirs. Transportation is the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Virginia and the region, and the source of dangerous particulates that exacerbate health problems like asthma, especially for those near major roads, which often include lower income and minority communities. To solve these problems we need to move to a clean transportation system and a clean-energy economy, and TCI-P will greatly help Virginia and the region do this. For its immediate air-quality and health benefits, and its enduring climate benefits, we strongly urge the prompt adoption of TCI-P throughout the Mid-Atlantic and New England region. The time to act is now. |

Fortunately, transportation is one area where we can really changes things for the better with available technology. As the electrical grid "greens" EVs actually grow cleaner. The opposite is true for fossil-fueled (FF) vehicles as they grow dirtier with age. The low efficiency of FF vehicles coupled with the high life-cycle costs of fuel production make EVs a no-brainer if we're going to get ourselves out of this climate mess and provide a decent home of our children. In our hubris we have no concept of how things may change with warming. We've built our world, our houses, our infrastucture to serve the climate we know not one with overheating and extreme events. |

Having transportation with fewer or zero carbon emissions is imperative. In order to benefit everyone, that transportation needs to be equitable. When one segment of our population is suffering, we all suffer the consequences. For too long we have lacked empathy & been self-focused & profit-driven in this country. It's time to create a sustainable lifestyle for everyone and demonstrate to the world that we have the moral courage to do so. We cannot expect to be a world leader in the global economy when our own country is so divided and inequitable. |

A stable climate is the most fundamental determinant of health. With our pollution, we are contributing to more and earlier deaths and disability. Transportation is the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Virginia and the region, as well as dangerous particulates that cause health problems like asthma. We have not only a health issue, but a moral issue because particulate emissions especially impact people living near major roads, which are often lower income and minority communities. We need a clean transportation system, and a clean-energy economy. Because I live just across the river, everything Virginia does to affect its air affects me.
TCI-P will greatly help Virginia and the region do this. 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; and (3) affords Virginia the opportunity for a cleaner, healthier transportation system. |

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. |
