I am also concerned about the quality of air we breathe. Technical innovations have made it possible to significantly reduce transportation pollution.
I request that New York State formally join the plan to reduce emissions.
I ask that that the policy has a strong component of equity by prioritizing clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don't have access.
I am grateful for the bipartisan nature of this project, moving us forward while the federal government takes us backward. |

As I read more books and article on the subject, it appears to me that the issue of transportation is one of the major ones. And I am very glad to see that a bipartisan project is looking into the matter - while our President insist on taking us back, further and further.
New York state should not let this opportunity pass to be leading the charge against pollution. Neither should it leave anyone behind: climate justice is a central nerve of tackling any climate related issue. This policy should therefore have a strong component of equity by prioritizing clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don't have access. It would not be ethical to ignore some parts of the population, the poorest ones who are the least heard of and yet, the most impacted by pollution.
Let's have the courage to look towards a brighter future, one where we and our kids can breath clean air and leave in peace, certain that no climate disaster is at bay. |

As the owner of an electric vehicle, I recognize the importance of a sustainable and viable transportation infrastructure. As someone who has worked in Massachusetts, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, I understand how closely intertwined the infrastructure of the Northeast is, and how important it is to have an integrated policy. Please continue to develop and implement a regional policy - our future depends on it. |

Reducing transportation pollution, which is our largest source of global warming emissions, is in everyone's best interest. We are already suffering from the harms of global warming, including more severe storms, drought, wildfires and temperature extremes which have resulted in many deaths, great destruction and financial cost. I commend governor Cuomo, the New York State legislature, and all of the activists for the CLCPA law signed last year to combat this problem. I encourage governor Cuomo to continue his strong leadership on this issue and formally commit New York to join the plan to reduce emissions. Please prioritize clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don't have access. Thank you for reading my comments. |

This has climate impact in the embodied energy in the car and associated carbon emissions are not recovered. I would recommend that the following actions to create a lower-carbon transportation infrastructure be seriously analyzed and the best candidates implemented:
- improved bus transportation networks using the cleanest and most reliable powerplant technology - e.g. electric, fuel cell, hybrid.
- free car sharing apps so that citizens can self-organize into carpools
- light rail lines where they can be well-utilized
- improving existing rail and subway systems
- planning for autonomous cars that would eventually replace personally owned cars with anew model of "transportation-as-a-service"
- subsidized bicycle lanes and trail systems
- research viability of publicly available electric scooters and bicycles and how to deploy them safely
- promotion of free public/private transportation apps that determine the best modality and routes for destinations throughout the Northeast |
