TCI Regional Policy Design Stakeholder Submissions

I support these goals:
“…design a regional low-carbon transportation policy proposal that would cap and reduce carbon emissions from the combustion of transportation fuels through a cap-and-invest program or other pricing mechanism… [and]… to complete the policy development process within one year, after which each jurisdiction will decide whether to adopt and implement the policy.”

Need to start Gateway Tunnels & new Portal Bridge as soon as possible. Need to establish new rail passenger corridors throughout region such as Birmingham -Penn Sta., South Sta.- North Sta. Boston, Pitsfield-Penn Station, etc.

This world is suffocating and humans are 100% to blame. The pollution that comes from transportation alone is killing the earth since it is the largest source of global warming emissions. We need to do everything we can to reduce the pollution that comes from transportation.
I request that New York (and all states) formally join the plan to reduce emissions.
The policy has a strong component of equity by prioritizing clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don't have access.

I very much care about reducing pollution from transportation, that is our largest source of global warming emissions (regionally and nationally), because I have been treating asthma with prescription medications for 25 years now, and it keeps getting worse.

I formally request that my state of Virginia formally join the plan to reduce emissions.

I demand that the policy has a strong component of equity by prioritizing clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don't have access.

I am very grateful for the bipartisan nature of this project, moving us forward while the current Federal Government "administration" insists on taking us backward.

The looming global climate crisis--caused by humankind's relatively rapid combustion of millions of years of accumulated fossil fuels--is an existential threat to human existence. Since transportation is now our largest source of global-warming emissions. rapidly achieving a carbon-neutral transportation sector is essential for human survival and the quality of life for future generations.

I urge the Commonwealth of Virginia to formally join this plan to reduce transportation-related emissions.

It's important that the adopted policy have a strong equity component, by prioritizing clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don't have access.

It's long past time to stop expanding limited-access highways for toll-free travel by single-occupant motor vehicles. Rather, existing general-purpose freeway lanes should be converted into managed travel lanes for express buses and other multi-occupant vehicles.

I applaud the bipartisan nature of this project, moving us forward while the federal government has been taking us backward by lowering future automobile emission standards and expanding fossil fuel extraction and publicly subsidized fossil fuel infrastructure.

So is the bill going to increase gas, electric and heating oil based monthly bills for Americans? What is this new technology that will cap certain vehicles emissions? What about my 2010 Dodge Cummins and will I have to pay a seperate tax for having a bigger truck? Just how much is this program going to cost everyday tax paying New Englanders and please respond without political banter, I've had enough of that. Vermont is already one of the most expensive states to live in and it's only going up. It's very hard for a hard working father of 3 to pay all these taxes without a truthful relevant explanation. I give half my paycheck for taxes now so you can see why someone like me is hesistant.

Thanks for your time,

We are in a climate crisis. Cities all over the world are having fires the "climate deniers" ignore. We need to create a transportation system that lowers carbon pollution so that we aren't the problem but part of a solution!
