There’s been lots of buzz about a trailblazing initiative in our region focusing on mobility, equity and climate. Government leaders from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Washington, D.C. have formed the bipartisan Transportation and Climate Initiative Program (TCI-P), which was created to enhance investments in clean, equitable transportation options and create new employment opportunities.

For Massachusetts specifically, the goal is to reduce motor vehicle pollution by at least 26% and infuse the state economy with over $1.8 billion by 2032. A portion of program funding will be allocated to electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, including the development of interstate EV charging corridors, which is huge!

Did you know that nearly half of America’s population lives in areas with harmful air pollution?

According to new research by the American Lung Association, approximately 150 million people live in counties affected by unhealthy ozone or particle pollution—most of which is caused by the transportation sector. The most vulnerable populations are children, seniors, individuals with chronic health conditions, lower-income communities and people of color.

A nationwide transition to zero-emission transportation solutions is vital to achieving clean, healthy air for everyone. By 2050, this shift could save approximately 6,300 lives and avoid up to $72 billion in health harms annually.

The road to cleaner air requires immediate action. To learn how you can help, download this free report from the American Lung Association: http://ow.ly/UPkh50CmEPn
