T4MA SUPPORT FOR TRANSPORTATION AND CLIMATE INITIATIVE
Statement from Chris Dempsey, T4MA, on TCI Draft MOU
“TCI is an innovative, bipartisan, regional solution that will address multiple challenges. The program will reduce transportation pollution by up to 25 percent while generating as much as $7 billion across participating states that can be invested in improved transportation options for rural, urban, and suburban communities.
TCI will also have important public health benefits, especially for low-income communities that are disproportionately impacted by highway-related tailpipe exhaust.
We applaud Governor Baker’s leadership in advancing this important public policy initiative that will improve the lives of people in every corner of the Commonwealth who use our transportation system, breath the air, or care about climate change. TCI will stand as a model for the rest of the nation.”
