TCI Regional Policy Design Stakeholder Submissions

I want a cap on carbon emissions of at least 99% by 2032 and an an increase in the minimum investment in overburdened and underserved communities (>99%). I request that investments be put towards active transportation like better sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, and high quality public transit.

We have to address climate change and reduce carbon emissions in all sectors and transportation is a big one. We need to use more electric vehicles

Economic and public health modeling to analyze how emissions reductions and investments in low-carbon transportation infrastructure will benefit people, businesses, and communities, particularly communities already bearing disproportionate impacts from pollution and lack of access to economic opportunities.

I am writing to ask for the following:

-A cap on carbon emissions of at least 25% by 2032
-An increase in the minimum investment in overburdened and underserved communities (>35%)
-Request that investments be put towards active transportation like better sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, and high quality public transit

According to a recently released study by Harvard and other institutions, if the program is designed appropriately, up to 1,100 lives can be saved annually, and the region could see $11 billion in health benefits each year.

As a resident of a TCI state, I'm respectfully requesting a strong TCI program that includes:
1.) A cap of 25% or more on n carbon emissions by 2032.
2.) An increase of 35% or more in the minimum investment in overburdened and underserved communities.
3.) Additional substantive investments in active transportation including: clean-powered public transit, better sidewalks, and the bicycling infrastructure.
An appropriately designed regional policy for low-carbon transportation could save up to 1,100 lives annually in the Northeast & Mid-Atlantic states and allow the region to see as much as $11 billion in health benefits each year!

Evidence of global warming and its destructive consequences is well documented and factual. Knowledge and understandng of greenhouse gases accumulating rapidly in the atmosphere during periods following the industrial revolution is also documented fact. Applying the data collected with sound reasoning a cause and effect showing increase in global temperatures provided the basis for the cascading effects and conclusions that human activity exacerbated global warming. The cascading effects of global warming are seen in the increase in destructive forces of winds, floods, droughts, electrical storms, disruption of ocean life food chains, fires etc. The increasing frequency, intensity, duration of weather has incurred one catastrophic situation after another. We must do all we can to curtail emissions of greenhouse gases. I understand electric trucks were used to deliver milk in Lancaster County in the 1940s. We can and must curtail use of green house gas emitting fossil fuel.
