The frequency and extent of fires across the globe has risen dramatically and storms and floods are also more severe. This is causing a refugee crisis as people are displaced from their homes or are no longer able to farm. Transportation is a major contributor to the carbon emissions that have caused this disaster. If we do not convert to low carbon emission modes of transportation, we will create a climate that does not support human life and will extinguish many of the species on earth. This reformation of transportation must occur immediately as we have yet to experience full the impact of the carbon emissions that are already present in the atmosphere, additional warming from the levels currently present will continue for many years hence. Our per capita consumption rate is 23 fold that of China. They are the highest carbon emitter and we are next. We must lead the way and dramatically reduce our per capita emissions and transportation is one of several areas that can achieve a substantial reduction.	-

Reducing pollution from transportation is a key component in reducing Pennsylvania's emissions. Public transit investments, that could be made with the Transportation & Climate Initiative (TCI) proceeds, would be very valuable.
