Connecticut’s transportation sector is the biggest single emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the state at 38% of the total. This is a climate crisis, and we must immediately work to address the greatest challenge of our generation.
I support a transportation plan that is focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollution while investing in sustainable transportation modes. Bus transit, rail, walking, and biking must be improved across the state, especially in cities and town centers.
We should not be investing in expanding interstates. Expanding our interstates in Connecticut both increases emissions in the long term from induced demand and increased driving while putting development pressure on the state’s dwindling forests and farms.
Thank you for this opportunity to give input. |

Maine, especially Aroostook county, suffers mightily from a lack of public transit. It affects everyone and limits the economic growth of the area, especially of services such as medical, recreational, educational and shopping. A thoughtfully-designed system would be a great help to elders and others by reducing isolation, enabling employees of all kinds of companies, and aid and health workers to reach rural areas, etc. of course it will vastly improve air quality which impacts everyone’s health. I do realize it may necessitate increases in fuel taxes, but I think we need to see the bigger picture: the era of a car in every garage is rapidly coming to a close and causes more pollution and expense for most people. As generations age, elders become unable to drive, and that is a serious problem too. |

I hope the use of private jets, planes and helicopters have been factored into the initiative. Over the past several years there has been a noticeable and considerable uptick in private air traffic over my home and neighborhood none of which originated from the town I live. Not only are these vehicles of transport contributing to carbon in our atmosphere they are creating considerable noise pollution. |

Right now, the well-off can buy our own way into the lowest carbon options, but they are expensive and out of reach of most people. Developing fair and comprehensive solutions that not only force change but are economically accessible is the real trick.

I request that the State of New York formally join the plan to reduce emissions.
I support a policy that 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 appreciative for the bipartisan nature of this project, moving us forward while the federal government takes us backward.
Thank you. |

By limiting the amount people will drive you are affecting an entire industry and workforce on the available cars to work on after the industry has already sustained raising workforce costs. We as an industry cannot sustain being attacked on both angles by our own government who is supposed to help foster small business instead of kill it. I voted for a Republican Governor in my state to help protect me from these issues. |

It’s also of critical importance that the investment component takes equity into account and serves underserved and low income communities most impacted. Lastly, it’s a great example of bipartisanship and getting things done across party lines- let’s do this! |

We need bold actions to transition to electric cars, make electric buses available, provide for a strong system of public transportation, and make our neighborhoods walkable and bikable.
Take bold actions now to help do what must be done.
I appreciate all of your work to make this happen.

The transportation sector is a major contributor to climate change and to air pollution. There have been many days in southwestern Pennsylvania in the past few weeks with air quality alerts, and vehicles are a significant contributor to that problem. We owe it to our residents in Pennsylvania to solve these problems by taking action on transportation infrastructure and on transportation policies. I, for instance, intend my next vehicle to be a plug-in electric car (I currently drive a hybrid). But, I do worry about the infrastructure that would make that choice easier. Charging stations are few and far between in Pennsylvania. Long distance travel is a problem! I have solar panels on my house, but the electric grid generally in Pennsylvania needs to move faster toward renewable sources and away from fossil fuel generation of electricity so that charging an electric vehicle truly is a environmentally better choice no matter where it is charged. And finally, we need to move away from fuel taxes as the major source of funds for the transportation sector. As electric vehicles become more common (and they will!), revenues from other sources will be needed to support our transportation system. Let's move forward with intention by planning for a new, clean transportation system in Pennsylvania. |

A little over a decade ago, I agreed with those Democrats. Since then, I have learned a lot and changed my mind. I have become convinced that the world's climate-crisis CANNOT be solved by phasing out nuclear reactors and moving to mainly “renewables”. But, I am all for phasing out fossil fuels ASAP. By the way, I absolutely won't vote for Trump. Here are two short web addresses to YouTube videos that go into more detail. I encourage you to view them for the facts. They are:
