View Public Input on TCI-P

Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and a significant source of particulate pollution in Virginia and that is why 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.

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 model-rule for the TCI program. A regional cap-and-trade program is essential to lower climate emissions of the biggest source here in my home state of Virginia.

Improvements to the as proposed rule would be:
- A more stringent cap to result in even larger GHG reductions. This is a nickel or dime on the cost of gas, which is already too cheap.
- A minimum investment in revenues to make sure overburdened and underserved communities in VA get more-then-proportional share of investments from the program.
- Acknowledgement that sufficient reductions require additional measures by TCI jurisdictions to reduce VMT and electrify their auto and truck fleets.
- Inclusion of affordable housing near transit as an eligible investment for TCI revenues.

Thank you.

Thank you all for keeping us in your minds and we look forward on working together around transportation issues throughout the United States of America.

Coming out of a 14 month pandamic, you are proposing an increase to our gas that is already seen a $.50 increase because of our President's careless actions to restrict the oil and gas industry. My husband and I live on a fixed income, one that cannot absorb a $1.00 increase in gas. We do not have the infrastructure to move away from gas driven vehicles, even if we wanted to. You govern a state that is not 100% left and you need to consider the fact that almost half of the state is conservative and this is an election year.
We do not need to belong to any organization that increase the costs in our daily life without having any direct improvement in the environment, by the way, the US is one of the cleanest countries in the world. Stop this crazy action.

I’m opposed to Virginia joining the TCI. It will cost consumers and businesses too much at the gas pump.
