TCI Regional Policy Design Stakeholder Submissions

We would love to help you deliver the Next Generation of Infrastructure in the middle of our $4 Trillion U.S.-Canada-Africa-Global ecosystem - eliminate traffic congestion, a $43B/year Northeast ROI, Radicaally reduce carbon, and delier a 400% ROI in a Next Gen P4 Finance model.

Our Tower-based design can deliver a triple return for Transit, 5G Communications, and Power T&D – tying in all the renewable sources and making the Power Grid MUCH more Resilient. This is the BIG breakthrough needed (as pointed out by Bill Gates and Breakthrough Energy) to allow us to supply the power grid with clean energy even during windless days, cloudy weather, and nighttime.

More than 40% of all carbon emissions come from the transportation sector and our iSAIL Energy-Fin-Transit can do root-cause fixes while making the U.S. a leader in Climate Change Resiliency and Carbon Reduction …….. iSAIL Energy-Fin-Transit is Towers, Guides and Pods that Fly for 80-100mph intracity/250 mph intercity at the cost of asphalt, $2M-3M/mile and 1/100th the cost of even light rail that can $250M/mile, $1B/mile for hyperloop (IF it works) and up to $5B/mile for heavy rail. iSAIL is based on decades of R&D at DARPA, NASA and MIT with AI proven to work where other methods failed. iSAIL Transit will open up a whole new world of urban-rural and land use optimization, turn commutes and freight delivery from hours to minutes, and Radically Reduce GHG emissions.

Our public–private framework enables a New Financial Model with private investors who are patient and risk tolerant, global corporations, and financial institutions with the capital necessary to finance the world’s largest infrastructure projects as we fill the $90 trillion global void and deliver the 400% return.

With humanity in the “race of our lives,” sea level rise accelerating faster than thought (The Guardian, Feb 3, 2020), together, we can deliver the Breakthrough solutions needed at 1/100th the cost of “dinosaur infrastructure” and deliver the URGENT and Bold Solutions to Climate Change the world is looking for, fill voids in the $90 Trillion infrastructure market, minimize the financial burden, especially in developing countries, maximize Revenue to municipalities, and set the Gold Standard for Resilient Transit, Cities, and world infrastructure.

Can you please let me know if we could schedule some time in the next few days to discuss how, together, we can accelerate delivery for ambitious carbon neutral goal? ….. And fix (much of) the brokenness, that will accelerate with the looming global recession?

Thank you very much!
Joe

Hello, we are seventh grade students from Florence M. Gaudineer Middle School in Springfield New Jersey. We have created a policy to help the issue of unsafe drinking water in New Jersey. Please support our policy by signing our petition to help protect everyone in the state of New Jersey from dangerous chemicals in their water. Our policy is (YPSWI) The Yearly Public School Water Inspection. This policy insures that all public schools will have clean water, and a water test would be conducted annually. Some disadvantages are that it would cost a lot of money, and this policy is only regulated for public schools and tax-supported charter schools in the state in New Jersey. The advantages are that it would protect students from harmful chemicals at schools, no matter what the town’s financial stance is. The level of government responsible for carrying out this law is State government. State government is responsible because it is supporting all of the tax-funded schools in New Jersey. We would ask Senator Kean to represent New Jersey and propose this policy in the state Senate. If that law gets passed through the General Assembly and gets to Governor Christie and he signs it into law, it would then be up to Kimberly Harrington; Commissioner of Education; and Bob Martin; Commissioner of Natural resources; to enforce this policy in the state. As said in the New Jersey Constitution, “All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security, and benefit of the people, and they have the right at all times to alter or reform the same, whenever the public good may require it.” Everyone should be entitled to the benefit of clean drinking water and it is up to our government to protect this natural resource. Clean drinking water is something that the public needs.

A Trump administration aide said in an email that releasing a water contamination report would cause a “public relations nightmare.” So they buried it.

I SUPPORT VERMONT'S JOINING THE TRANSPORTATION AND CLIMATE INITIATIVE. WE MUST NOT MISS THIS COLLECTIVE OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE REVENUES FOR CLIMATE ACTION IN OUR STATE. REFUSING TO JOIN AND EXPERIENCING THE COSTS AND NO BENEFITS WOULD BE A TRAVESTY

Attached is a slide deck that provides case studies of three cap-and-invest policies that have included equitable guardrails and guarantees, in California, Oregon, and New York, to serve as models for equity provisions in a TCI Model Rule.

On December 11th, 2019, Green for All released "Designing an Equitable Cap-and-Invest Policy for Transportation". This equity toolkit for TCI provides detailed policy recommendations and resources for ensuring a regional cap-and-invest policy delivers equitable outcomes. It provides guidance to Governors, state agency officials, legislators, advocates, community members, and other critical stakeholders to design a program that is responsive to the needs of low-income families, disproportionately pollution-impacted neighborhoods, and transit-underserved communities.

Our policy recommendations are aligned with the Policy Design Principles for an Equitable Clean Transportation Program, which were delivered to the Transportation and Climate Initiative via the online portal on July 26, 2019. The principles were co-developed by national environmental equity groups and community-based organizations with input from over a dozen racial justice, economic justice, environmental justice, and transit justice organizations.

Our transportation status is on a crash course with the climate, the public's health (tailpipe pollution, asthma, respiratory ailments and cardiac disease, and more). Our health systems are working to reduce their carbon footprints of our hospitals, fleet vehicles,
and employee commutes, but we need the support of strong policies to drive systematic progress. We appreciate the work being done by participating states to create a regional policy to rapidly reduce transportation emissions to protect the health of the communities we serve.
Funds raised by the program should be invested in ways that protect health, advance health
equity, and support health care climate resilience. As our hospitals advance clean
transportation goals, our patients and communities would greatly benefit from TCI being implemented regionally.
It is critical that as states consider how to invest the proceeds from this program, frontline and low-income
communities should be prioritized to benefit from those investments given the historical health
burden they have experienced from pollution. We urgently need a bold regional vision, TCI Now.

I own enough forested land to offset my carbon creation. I suggest you f**k off and tax the people living in large dense cities who contribute to this problem.

Fantastic initiative but kindly bear in mind the timeline be efficient well within 10 years as much as possible given the cascade effect most scientists anticipate at that point.
