Join League members from CT, RI and MA, and advocates and experts on TCI for this special, tri-state League sponsored event to learn how we can all help reduce pollution that causes respiratory diseases such as asthma while investing equitably in modern, clean, regional transportation solutions. MA has been a leader in supporting TCI in the region. Rhode Island and Connecticut are at critical points in advancing the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) in their states.TCI is designed to benefit anyone who breathes air in the region, but especially children and those who live in environmental justice communities who are disproportionately impacted by air pollution. TCI is seen as a model for the country as a plan to address the deadly, heat-trapping emissions of air pollution from the transportation sector – one of the largest sources of emissions in the region and the country. We hope to see you there!

Event: The Transportation and Climate Initiative: Improving The Regional Economy and Health For All

When: Thursday, May 20th, 2021 from 4:00-5:00pm
