Clean Vehicle regulations have been fully vetted and are on the 90-yard line. The legislature can secure a clean air victory in the #first30days @mattritterct @cthousedems @ctsenatedems

[John Moritz @JohnMoritz18]

Connecticut, which is out of compliance with federal air standards, could have to cut emissions elsewhere if lawmakers fail to adopt California's EV push, House Speaker @MattRitterCT warns:

@EVClubCT @WillHaskellCT @CTDOTOfficial Fantastic!

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Want to break our dependence on foreign oil? Start converting mass transit from diesel to electricity.

Today in New Haven I announced an $11M federal grant to allow CT to buy new electric buses. Big deal!

[Katie Scharf Dykes @kscharfdykes]

H.B. 5039 will ensure truck & bus manufacturers provide more emission-free choices for sale in Connecticut--saving Connecticut $270 million in health care costs by 2040, and helping us tackle climate change! Read more here https://t.co/WPUthRMFBn

[Charles Rothenberger @Chas67CT]

@kscharfdykes A common sense approach to reducing pollution and improving public health. Thank you for your leadership on this!

[Save the Sound @SavetheSound]

Tell CT Senate and House Leadership you want the Transportation and Climate Initiative to be passed this session because you want a better future for your community. Demand clean air, good jobs, and a modern transportation system. #TCI #ActOnClimate

[Charles Rothenberger @Chas67CT]

@SavetheSound #TCI is still alive BUT it must be included in the agenda for the upcoming Special Session. Please contact your legislators and ask that TCI get a vote! @CTHouseDems @CTSenateDems https://t.co/xbPyMKQj01

[Save the Sound @SavetheSound]

And it's sine die! #CT's 2021 legislative session is over--with a special session already called to finish important business (like #TCI!).

The Transportation and Climate Initiative Program may be getting a reprieve. House Speaker Matt Ritter says TCIP could be taken up again in a special session after threatened House GOP filibuster scuttled vote Wednesday on cannabis legalization.

[Chris Phelps @phelps_chris]

We can’t wait to #ActOnClimate.
Transportation is 40% of the state’s Carbon emissions. Connecticut needs to pass #TCI now to cap pollution, make polluters pay, and invest in a cleaner, affordable transportation future. @CTSenateDems, @CTHouseDems, @GovNedLamont get it done.

[L. McMill. @GeneraLMcMill]

Sweltering at home & office and asthma activated by smog while my state senator refuses to call a vote on a bill that would help. What gives, @CTSenateDems? #TCI #WhereImLobbyingFrom

[CT League of Conservation Voters @ctlcv1]

People who don't want to hold polluters accountable like to say environmental regulations are a tax, and then look the other way while communities of color bear the costs of pollution

That's a line we would expect from the oil industry but not from Democratic leaders.

@CTDems

[Charles Rothenberger @Chas67CT]

Connecticut voters gave the Democrats a huge majority in the Senate and House, but those majorities are killing the TCI climate action bill. Don't let them get away with it. @CTSenateDems @CTHouseDems #ActOnClimate, pass #TCI and cap carbon pollution from transportation.

[Save the Sound @SavetheSound]

@ctlcv1 @CTSenateDems @SunriseConn @TransportHTFD @CleanWaterCT AMEN. Leadership is saying they don't have the votes? Call 884 and let's see exactly who is refusing to stand up for their constituents' health and our state's future.

[CT League of Conservation Voters @ctlcv1]

@CTSenateDems Our future is not a bargaining chip and you cannot trade away #climateaction!
#TCI has the votes to pass. Call SB 884 for a vote in the Senate.
@SunriseConn @SavetheSound @TransportHTFD @CleanWaterCT

[Save the Sound @SavetheSound]

Not enough votes for clean air? Not enough votes to meet the climate commitments the legislature has already made? Not enough votes to protect their constituents' lungs?

Call SB 884, @CTSenateDems. Let's get every senator on the record about where they stand on #TCI.

[Charles Rothenberger @Chas67CT]

@phelps_chris Outrageous. Call SB 884!

[Chris Phelps @phelps_chris]

Connecticut Democratic legislative leaders say they don’t have the votes to fight climate change? Really? Prove it. Call the bill (SB 884) and go on the record. #ActOnClimate #CTPolitics

[Will Haskell @WillHaskellCT]

TCI is a plan to fight climate change. There is no gas tax. Pass it on.

[Charles Rothenberger @Chas67CT]

@SenatorCohenCT Perplexed is right. What happened to the Republican Party in CT? Their position is irresponsible at best and immoral at worst, relying as it does on intentional falsehoods. If there are aren't any real arguments against the program, they should be supporting it!
