TCI Regional Policy Design Stakeholder Submissions

I fully endorse the mission to design a regional low-carbon transportation policy proposal that would cap and reduce carbon emissions from the combustion of transportation fuels through a cap-and-invest program or other pricing mechanism and to complete the policy development process within one year, after which each jurisdiction will decide whether to adopt and implement the policy

I endorse the requiremens to cap carbon emissions of at least 25% by 2032, increase the minimum investment in overburdened and underserved communities by at least 35%, and to invest in active transportation like better sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, and high quality public transit.

Please be sensible and responsible and protect the underserved and overburdened communities that would be
affected by this. Also, please include state advisory boards and allow for community involvement and review.
This is a very important initiative and must be carried out with care. Thank you.

I ask for:

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.

With the severe weather and poor air quality from out dated transportation affecting everyone, now is a must to finally invest in our future of clean transportation. Time is ticking away and we all deserve clean air and a strong system to fight the dangers of climate change.

Completing the pipeline will enable more fossil fuel extraction and usage, as well as more leaks and spills, at a time when we should urgently reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, solar power is rapidly becoming the most economical source of electricity, as well as the cleanest, and will reduce the demand for fossil fuel. Completing the pipeline will create temporary jobs and short-term profits for a few corporations while doing long-term environmental damage.

We need to keep our air clean & climate change under control any bit will help. We don’t want Colorado to be come like some of the big cities around the country.

Greetings: I would like to say that we must have
a cap on carbon emissions of at least 25% by 2032 and an increase in the minimum investment in overburdened and underserved communities (>35%)
It would be fitting to use investments to promote active transportation: sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, and high quality public transit.
Thank you for your attention.

Even if "buying American" is more costly, the money stays here and ends up spurring the economy and boosting tax revenue to recover the cost. Both the national economy and our national security are at stake.

It has come to the point where mankind either severely limits global CO2 and methane emissions or pay the consequences. Those consequences have already started and are accelerating at a rapid rate. Think of the expanding number of hurricanes, the horrific fires in California, in other western states, Australia, the Brazilian Amazon, etc., etc. The melting of permafrost in the north is already releasing huge quantities of stored methane. It goes on and on. Quite frankly, to MY view, it is already too late to avoid massive changes to the earth's climate which endanger every aspect of life, including the lives of mankind. This initiative is a MUST!
