Everything we do is affected by our state's transportation systems and investments in infrastructure. The state's transportation sector is also the largest generator of greenhouse gas emissions, quickening our path toward climate crisis. Motor vehicle emissions disproportionately harm urban, low-income, and people of color in our state. Together, we can work together to address the impending climate catastrophe, public health disparities, and improve the quality of life for Connecticut residents.

You are invited to join us on Tuesday, Oct 29th for a networking dinner and community meeting to learn more about critical efforts to deliver a more equitable, modern, low-carbon transportation future. We need your voice and the state's leaders need to understand your concerns, challenges, and hopes for the program being developed to modernize and reduce emissions from CT's transportation system.

We will discuss Connecticut’s role in the Transportation & Climate Initiative (TCI), a multi-state effort to reduce transportation emissions, identify opportunities to engage in the TCI process, and identify how this effort aligns with your organization’s mission and goals. TCI will address and fund cross-cutting issues such as housing, health, access to transportation and jobs, climate change and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Your voice at the table is extraordinarily important in this effort to effectively address a broad range of issues for communities bearing the disproportionate effect of pollution.
