A diverse group of investors, companies, trade associations, institutions, and organizations across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic are urging the region’s governors today to band together and create a clean transportation future that enables economic growth.
In a letter sent to the participating leaders, more than 100 signatories — including Akamai, DSM, Eversource Energy, Novartis and State Street—called the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) a “once-in-a-generation opportunity to modernize and decarbonize our region’s transportation system” and emphasized how TCI will help to achieve several of their shared goals to:
-
- Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation;
- Invest in much-needed public transit, alternative transportation and road infrastructure;
- Alleviate traffic congestion;
- Make the region more economically competitive;
- and Generate a revenue stream to fund these and future transportation improvements.
