"If we want to meet our climate goals, we need to electrify every vehicle on the road right now AND increase transit access, and reduce how much people are getting around in their own vehicles." - Leah Missik, @climatesolution#CleanAndJust#ResilientFuture@TranspoChoices
"Disabled people are everywhere, which means we need transit and sidewalks and accessible crossings in every community." - Krystal Monteros, @disrightswa#CleanAndJust@TranspoChoices
"We're too dependent on the gas tax to pay for our transportation - it means transportation funding is declining, it also means we're overly prioritizing new roads and highway expansion. We can and must do better." - Adrienne Hampton @Duwamishcleanup #CleanAndJust
