Public health experts from Harvard, Columbia, and other universities have released a comprehensive health study showing every New York county would benefit from an equitable and sustainable Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) program.
New York, NY – Today, public health experts from Harvard, Columbia, and other leading universities released a preliminary study projecting up to $5.1 billion in annual public health benefits for New Yorkers by the year 2032 under a proposed multistate Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) program. TCI is a regional collaboration of 12 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, including New York and the District of Columbia that seeks to transform transportation, supercharge the clean energy economy, and curb emissions from the transportation sector–a major source of harmful local air pollution and New York’s largest source of carbon pollution.
