TCI Webinar: Reference Case Results
Thursday, August 8, from 11 am to 12 pm ET
The Transportation and Climate Initiative hosted a webinar during which the TCI states shared updates and invited further input from stakeholders to inform the design of a proposed regional cap-and-invest program to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation. This interactive presentation reviewed:
- Updates on the TCI modeling run, the first step of the modeling process;
- Public input received following a previous TCI webinar on reference case assumptions; and
- Final inputs and assumptions that were used to run the reference case.
Stakeholders were invited to join to learn more about this completed analysis, ask questions, and offer suggestions for TCI states to consider during the subsequent stages of modeling, including modeling runs that will simulate regional GHG cap levels and other potential program design elements.

About the TCI Regional Low-Carbon Transportation Policy Development Process
TCI is a collaboration of state environmental, energy, and transportation agencies that are working together to develop a regional policy for low-carbon transportation, following the December 18, 2018 statement by nine states and Washington D.C. committing 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.”
