Dear John, 

Imagine the last time you were stuck in traffic or wanted to use public
transportation but couldn’t because there wasn’t a bus or train to get
from point A to point B. 

Now, imagine a modern transportation system that’s affordable, efficient,
accessible and clean. One that prioritizes people in the poorest and most
polluted communities in the country. This transportation system isn’t a
vision of the distant future, it’s already getting built in California and
now it’s a possibility across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

  In October, we shared that your policy makers released a draft policy
framework for a regional clean transportation program that would limit
carbon pollution, make polluters pay, and invest billions of dollars a
year in clean transportation solutions. [ [link removed] ]We need your support to ensure
communities most in need are getting the benefits of those investments! 

Today, we released a new equity toolkit for a clean transportation system.
For months, we’ve been working on this toolkit to guide state officials,
advocates, and community partners on how to design a regional carbon
pricing program that is responsive to the needs of low-income families,
neighborhoods overburdened by tailpipe pollution, and transit-underserved
communities.

We know that putting a price on carbon alone won’t be enough. That’s why
we need to make sure states design the program in a way that truly
benefits the communities who are most impacted by pollution and who are
currently underserved by transit and mobility options. Let
Mayor Muriel Bowser know that a clean modern transportation future must also
be affordable, accessible, and work for all.

Similar programs have reduced emissions and saved consumers money, but not
everyone has benefited equally. When those with the most privilege reap
the greatest benefits, existing disparities continue to grow. 

If done right, the regional program should cut pollution and also cut
inequality. [ [link removed] ]Show your support for this transportation future by taking
action today.

Thanks for your support, 

Eleanor, Senior Campaign Manager
