We have been witnesses to the environmental degradation of that region for over 45 years. Much of that has been from dense automobile traffic. Anything that would improve public transportation to a level that would shift travel from individual cars to collective transport would be helpful. We support this effort to make a difference. |

I am very worried about climate change. I see the effects all around me, and it has been so discouraging how little is being done at the national level to address this growing crisis.
That said, I am very encouraged by the development of the Transportation and Climate Initiative. Please make sure carbon is priced high enough to effectively reduce emissions. It's also important that this policy doesn't disproportionately hurt rural and low or moderate income people.
Thank you for taking my comment, and big props to the bipartisan nature of this project!
Sincerely,
Hillary Twining |

I want to express my enthusiastic support for this multi-state initiative. It is past time to be taking concrete steps - aggressive steps - to address climate change. I hope those involved will move ahead quickly and a clear sense of the narrowing window we have to prevent the worst effects of global warming.

Since fuel emissions are a major contributor to the growing crisis of climate change, I heartily support the coalition and its aims. I think that a plan that reduces emissions and traffic congestion is a great idea. The pollution from traffic has a major impact on health and contributes to any number of diseases. Some areas are overburdened by pollution and other areas suffer from a lack of access to public transportation which adds both traffic congestion and fuel exhaust from private vehicles to the atmosphere. I urge all of the officials to work together to improve the air in this high traffic, highly densely populated corridor. It is heartening to see efforts by state and local leaders to move us forward by improving conditions and reducing carbon emissions despite the federal government 's efforts to move the country backward. |

First, reducing pollution from transportation is a key component to reducing Pennsylvania's emissions. There are numerous benefits to Pennsylvania and the entire Northeastern United States in cutting emissions and the subsequent formation of toxic greenhouse gases; public transit investments that could be made with TCI proceeds would be valuable and could be reinvested to develop further climate saving, greenhouse gas reducing programs throughout the region, protecting our children and the elderly from the choking greenhouse gases that have been linked to increased rates of respiratory disease, have been shown to affect the birth weight and overall fetal health in our region and darken skies with clouds of smog that are brimming full of dangerous chemicals that collect on our skin, in our hair, contaminate our fresh water supply and adversely affect the health of livestock grown for human consumption in the region.
I ask, that as the leaders responsible for effecting change, you choose the aggressive greenhouse gas reduction target that the most recent climate science tells us we need. I also urge you to adopt policy that prioritizes clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don’t have access to transportation choices.
The time to act is now! I’d like to point out that change has been a long time in coming, and it takes progressive, forward-thinking policy makers that agree with the urgency of the situation and are bold enough to perhaps step outside of their comfort zones in order to make meaningful change possible. |

It is time to develop an electrified high speed comfortable rail system serving long distance, as well as well connected metropolitan light rails, metro, and electrified bus systems that serve all zip codes. This is allow children to attend school on time, will broaden access to food for underserved communities, and expand access to job opportunities while decongesting roads. Americans spend more than a month yearly behind the wheel. This increases stress, pollution, and decreases family time which is already abysmal compared to other developed countries. |

Public transportation is a human right: students have the right to timely and safe transport to school. Workers are spending more time behind the wheel each year, decreasing productivity and affecting quality of life. The environment suffers via increased pollution. |

Why is the answer to all so called problems more government? Maine is a very old and poor state, more taxes will not improve anything. Only hurt the people that choose to work for a living.

Transportation is responsible for 40% of our air pollution. I hope very much the 12 NE states and DC can join together to put a price on carbon...where the money collected can go into investing in public transportation and better /safer bike lanes.. If we can cut down on air pollution, it would save alot of money and lives...due to decreasing particulate matter in the air we breathe... |

We also live in an area in which the public transportation system is basically set up for the commuting workers in and out of Hartford, but is very inconvenient for evenings and weekends and those folks who work a non-9-5 schedule. If we as a nation are to move ahead with clean methods of transport, we need to invest in systems that people can use as an alternative to driving .
thank you. |
