The affordability argument from Governor Scott is a blindered understanding of the financial and human trauma that will result from inaction on the climate. TCI helps bring our energy money home by reinvesting it in green local alternatives and provides the financial wherewithal to address our biggest challenge, transportation. That it is a multi-state initiative means it will be of significant impact and will put VT in line with all our neighbors, except Governor Sununu. Pass this now. |

Specifically, there should be a greater than 35% increase in the minimum investment in overburdened communities, a cap of at least 25% on carbon emissions by 2032, and investments in better sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, and high quality public transit.
Thank you for your time. |

We have solar panels on our roof and an electric vehicle charging station right next to the solar panels in our driveway. We have three electric plug in cars. We also bike a lot.
Thank you for your interest in our opinions.
I favor a carbon fee and dividend approach to reducing carbon pollution that causes global warming.
This approach gives all fees on carbon fuels back to the people in a monthly dividend. See HR 763, a bi-partisan bill in the US Congress. I think this works best on a national scale, but a regional scale, like RGGI, could work also.
The dividend approach ensures that almost all people of limited means will be better off financially than without the program, since most richer families use more carbon fuel that poorer families, so the rich will pay more, but everyone gets the same dividend. The REMI study confirms this concept.
It encourages people to use more efficient cars, electric cars, bikes and mass transit. For those lower income families that find that they are not better off, we could devise a program for free bus tickets, or free bicycles, if they would use them. We might be able to sell them used electric vehicles or hybrids that cost less than brand new, at below market prices, which subsidies could be paid out of the carbon fee.
Of course, we would need an educational program that inspires everyone to use low carbon transportation.
Thank you again |

We need to build a modern, clean, safe, and accessible transportation system for the 21st century. The more we limit pollution from motor fuels, the more jobs we create, the more the economy grows, the healthier our air becomes, and the more lives we save. Delaware should join TCI to fund better transportation infrastructure, reduce traffic, and make my community a cleaner, safer place to live.
Public Health: It is clear that air pollution from cars, trucks, and buses have become a huge detriment to everyone's health. Air pollution has been linked to a variety of health problems, including asthma, heart disease, and lung cancer, and the more ambitious TCI is, the more our community stands to benefit from a cleaner transportation system. I urge Governor Carney to join TCI and push it to be as ambitious as possible, for the sake of my community’s health and livelihood.
We live in Sussex County which is a rural area, I think that TCI is extremely important. When states join TCI, they have the opportunity to invest in rural communities where transportation options are limited. Joining TCI would allow Delaware to ensure that rural communities aren’t left behind in the green transition and stuck behind the wheel of costly, inefficient vehicles. Governor Carney should push for an ambitious TCI program so that rural communities like mine get the solutions they need.
More electric vehicles, cars, trucks, buses etc.

Climate change is getting worse and we must all put our shoulders to the wheel to save Planet Earth.
For those concerned about the impact of increasing prices, especially those who are poor, I would ask them to consider who is hurt the worst from climate change? Answer: the poor, who more often than not are located in areas subject to flooding where the rich do not want to live. This is especially true in other countries, about which we should care, countries like Bangladesh. We Americans should lead the way to stop global warming to help those who are most impacted by sea level rise and flooding, but who have done the least to contribute to the problem. |

Walk/don't walk signalling is poorly designed (in my city and elsewhere) and makes crossing intersections a lot more dangerous than it needs to be and encourages jaywalking. And of course snow/ice removal is another big barrier to safe walking. As far as winter walking, Rochester does do better than many by using sidewalk plows, but sweepers would work better in many conditions and use of the plows more frequently and ticketing delinquent property owners would help immensely. If we are going to have lousy public transit, can we at least make walking safer? |
