Transit, labor, and housing leaders across California are raising concerns about proposed CARB amendments to the Cap-and-Invest program.

A coalition of more than 60 organizations has submitted a letter to the California @AirResources Board, warning the changes could weaken the program’s climate, economic, and affordability benefits.

The amendments could:
• Undermine climate and air quality progress
• Eliminate funding for key programs like AHSC, TIRCP, and LCTOP
• Threaten good-paying jobs
• Reduce investments in communities facing pollution and rising costs

For more than a decade, Cap-and-Invest has delivered real results — reducing emissions and investing billions into California communities.

The coalition urges CARB to reconsider these proposed changes and protect these critical investments.

“Staying silent on continued investments in transit, even as a starting position for the “Cap-and-Invest” plan, is a blow to all who rely on essential transit service and throws into doubt the future of public transit in California.”

AB 394, introduced by @AsmLoriDWilson, aims to improve the safety of transit operators, employees, and passengers in California by strengthening legal protections against assaults and disruptive behavior on public transit.
