Clean Transportation Equity: Community Feedback & Findings Report now available
Goal: Advance a collaborative process to identify the highest impact investment opportunities, in terms of cost-effective and equitable greenhouse gas reduction strategies and actions, for clean transportation revenue in Vermont.
This Network Action Team started by looking specifically at “what are the possible benefits – and who are the prioritized beneficiaries – if Vermont were to join the Transportation and Climate Initiative Program (TCI-P)?” However, in November 2021 several partner states put any action on TCI-P on hold, leaving Vermont without a current path forward on TCI-P (read more here). At that point the Network Action Team revamped their plan, while continuing to focus on advancing transportation equity in the state.
