TCI webinar on
ensuring environmental justice and equity in a regional low-carbon
transportation program
Tuesday, September
29, 2020, 4 - 6 PM
This webinar will
focus on proposed measures intended to ensure the program fosters equity
for overburdened and underserved communities, building on states’
longstanding commitment to designing a program that benefits all
communities, including those on the frontlines of air pollution and climate
change impacts. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the fact that racial
disparities in exposure to air pollution are reflected in disproportionate
impacts of the coronavirus and other health threats. The TCI jurisdictions have received extensive input from
a wide range of interested people and organizations on ways states could
design and implement a regional low-carbon transportation program that
advances equity and environmental justice. Informed by that input and
further outreach, TCI state officials will provide updates on proposed
strategies to ensure that overburdened and underserved communities benefit
from investments and reduced air pollution and have opportunities
for meaningful engagement in shaping TCI commitments and implementation
moving forward. Details and registration information for the
September 29 webinar will be available soon on the TCI website. Please
RSVP using the link below so we can notify you when the registration link
is available.
