Virginia can curb carbon and grow its economy at the same time.
Governor Northam can sign on to the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). It’s time for Virginia to join this regional collaboration.
TCI puts a price on carbon in the transportation sector. This policy could create jobs and fund much-needed clean transportation infrastructure projects across Virginia to dramatically reduce carbon emissions. That could mean EV charging, rapid bus transit, rural broadband and more.
You don’t just have to take our word for it. TCI supporters include a long list of academics, environmental groups, policy leaders and more – including third party research on its potential impacts. A recent Harvard University study highlights the positive health outcomes the program could have. While a separate report from the Union of Concerned Scientists details how a program like TCI can help revitalize the region’s rural communities.
By joining this regional initiative early, Governor Northam can send a clear message to his neighbors that TCI is a force for the future.
