View Public Input on TCI-P

Virginia should not join TCI. It will unnecessary cost to all the products I need.

I would like to see an emphasis on electric vehicles and more power stations as we get closer to 2030. This should be extended to public transportation of all kinds, including paratransit.

Are you going nuts. This is not a good thing. It will hurt everybody from the top down

I’m opposed to Virginia joining the TCI. It will cost consumers and businesses too much at the gas pump.
Virginia should not join TCI. It will impact average citizens, truckers and businesses alike.
Virginia cannot afford to join the TCI. The cost to the energy sector will trickle down and impact all Virginians using fuel.

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

I urgently believe that the Transportation and Climate Initiative Program (TCI-P) is necessary to address our key regional sources of pollution. With each governance innovation, we must better steer our public and private investments to creating an efficient, better, truly sustainable transportation systems.

As our region's transportation emissions are a huge contributor in our changing climate, we can address nearly one-half of Virginia’s carbon output. We need environmental justice principles embodied in strategies that address toxic air pollution that falls disproportionately on low-income or politically disconnected populations.

We must use the funding provided by the TCI-P to help with ongoing efforts to put more electric vehicles and infrastructure in play in Virginia along with equitably distributed charging stations across the state.

We must target a higher attainable goal, beyond the model rule - for at least 35 percent of TCI proceeds going toward frontline, impacted communities. The TCI-P can drive investments in a cleaner transportation system in the populations and communities that have suffered the most from vehicle pollution. Let's invest at least half of our TCI revenue in programs and infrastructure that will truly lower the disproportionate pollution burdens on our people.

Thank you for soliciting and analyzing these comments and engaging the public on this critical measure. We must meet the moment for our collective health and future.

I think Governor Scott needs to address all of the pollution that will come with the Covid-induced population boom. Why not tax these people who are outbidding local Vermonters on home sales and driving up the prices of housing, taking up all available rentals, good paying jobs, and bringing more vehicles and thereby emissions into the state?

We know from the IPCC that we must eliminate the use of fossil fuels if we want the earth to avert the permanent & disastrous consequences of climate change. 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.
