This will almost certainly be the year that Congress finally passes global warming legislation. But when they do, they'll be leaving out a huge chunk of the problem if they don't include a plan to reduce emissions from transportation - the source of roughly one-third of all carbon emissions in the U.S.
A proposal now in Congress called CLEAN-TEA would help clean up transportation by directing money raised through global warming legislation to the kinds of smart transportation investments that will lower emissions. It would direct funding to clean transportation investments - like public transportation and passenger rail, affordable neighborhoods around transit stops, and neighborhood improvements that increase safety for cyclists and pedestrians.
Help us make sure CLEAN-TEA makes it into the climate bill this year. Send a letter to the Chair of the Energy Committee today!
