Join us by attending the 12/5 Transportation Committee hearing to testify on behalf of Rep. Ehrlich's and Sen. Lesser "An Act to advance modern and sustainable solutions for transportation" - S.2106 and H.3008
Transportation now represents a disproportionate share of our pollution as a state, in addition to being an increasing strain on the wallets of working people. We need solutions that provide better opportunities for our communities and working families. This bill provides a way of generating revenue to invest in making our communities more livable and climate friendly.
A public hearing for this bill has been announced for December 5th, 1:00 PM in Room A-1 in the state house and you are invited to participate in support of the bills.
All people have a right to be protected from environmental pollution and to live in and enjoy a clean and healthful environment––but low-income communities and communities of color are most likely to be in the shadows of a dirty power plant or next to a busy polluting highway.
This public hearing is an important step toward making this bill law. You will be able to speak in support of the bill directly to the Joint Committee on Transportation.
