As a concerned citizen, I urge NY State to help create a plan that would create an enforceable limit on transportation pollution and invest in clean, modern mobility solutions across the region.	-

As such, I strongly urge New York state to formally join the plan to reduce emissions and demand that the policy have a strong component of equity by prioritizing clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don't have access. While the Trump administration continues to set us back decades on climate policy, the bipartisan nature of this project is heartening and more vital than ever.	-

The transportation sector is a major contributor of carbon emissions that affects American quality of life today but also severely threatens our children’s future. I urge you to commit to reducing emissions and pollution from transportation, and also ensuring 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 very worried about our future but also heartened by this bipartisan effort that can hopefully pave the way for continued cooperation and unity on the matters of greatest importance today - climate change and inequity.	-

Every State in our country should participate and do everything it can to clean up and maintain our environment not only for us but for the health of the entire planet. The policy should have a strong component of equity by prioritizing clean investments in areas overburdened by pollution and/or for those who don't have access. Thank you for the bipartisan nature of this project, moving us forward while the federal government takes us backward!!!!! Your work is greatly appreciated.	-

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'm very pleased to learn about initiatives like this, especially given the importance of public transport in combating our impending and dramatic climate crisis. One key aspect that I hope can be taken into account is not just the availability and affordability, but also the public perception of, subway, train and especially bus travel.	-

The transportation sector accounts for a third of all carbon emissions so we must make changes to this sector to avert the worst of climate change. We need a plan that holds large transportation polluters accountable for the pollution they create and invests in clean transportation solutions including: - More public transit and electric vehicle infrastructure in rural areas, - Expansion of commuter rail, electric vehicles, and streets in the suburbs that are safe, walkable, and bikeable, - Sustainable and equitable housing near transit and electric bus fleets in urban communities.	-
