View Public Input on TCI-P

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.

Individual choices for driving electric are good, but states need to work together to make bigger, better choices for our collective future. The electrification of transportation in the TCI region and the pricing of pollution will go a long way to cleaning the air and combating climate change.

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.

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.

I support the Transportation and Climate Initiative. I urge Virginia leaders to join this effort to reduce transport related pollution.

I support the TCI-P! Please put the brakes on pollution and conserve our environment in VA and the area.

I do not have the background to understand the technical aspects of your draft model. However, I do feel that it is important to make known to the public the plans being incorporated in the various districts. This can be through church organizations, climate change groups, and those involved in civic review. I just received this request for input this afternoon from Virginia Interfaith Power and Light the last day of comment period, but the last day was to be April 1st. It appears to me that there needs to be better outreach to grassroots organizations. The LWV of Richmond Metro has a Transportation Committee that want to know about these efforts and could spread the word in the community. It seems to me that more needs to be planned in the outreach area if you truly want to have the underserved and overly burdened to be able to have a say in what is happening.

The Virginia League of Conservation Voters supports 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) meaningfully empowers Virginia's Equity Advisory Body, (4) integrates air quality commitments across Virginia and (5) affords Virginia the opportunity for a cleaner, healthier transportation system."
