Now we must make larger geographic changes using incentives and acting as regions to preserve the air we breath, the water we drink, and the food we eat. This is NOT the time to neglect limiting environmental consequences from transportation modes across the northeast region or our nation. A low carbon transportation plan is essential to our future health. TCI needs input from ordinary citizens as well as scientific groups, technical experts and funding sources. We can't afford to do nothing!	-

Public transit investments that could be made with TCI proceeds would be valuable. Choose the aggressive greenhouse gas reduction target that the most recent climate science tells us we need. The policy must prioritize clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don’t have access to transportation choices.	-

However, I stand firmly against TCI, and I do believe that if states followed our lead, then this proposal would not even be necessary. I think that Governor Charlie Baker should bring this proposal to the Massachusetts legislature for a vote.	-

There is NO shame in any of you. We have ZERO representation and now that the "republican" gov. Is really just another democrat there is really nobody watching out for people just trying to live their lives and take care of their family. This thought process of " we're untouchable and can do anything we want" has to end. TCI will NOT survive a court challenge(outside of Ma.) with neutral judges and honest people. When do CITIZENS get a break? Don't give us the tax deduction WE passed twenty years ago and tell us you" gave "it to us. WE passed it and you couldn't even honor that for 20 years. DeLeo,Spilka and Baker ALL will be voted out after this absolute dip off.	-

Wolf in his program to support TCI. The dramatic increase in atmospheric temperature, wild weather patterns, and significant melting of the polar ice caps certainly indicate that global warming is here and the solution is not easy nor immediate. It is certainly a travesty that the US is the only country within the developed nations who is not actively engaging this issue.	-
