Statement of CCA CEO/President Joe Lyou on the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure

Statement of Joe Lyou, CEO of Coalition for Clean Air and CTC Commissioner, on the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure (CAPTI):

“We support CAPTI because it adds equity, climate, air pollution, and health priorities into our transportation decision making. The state should only spend transportation dollars in ways that reduce the emissions that cause air pollution and climate change. CAPTI can create new avenues to reduce health and economic harms and can maximize community benefits for disproportionately impacted low-income communities of color in both urban and rural regions. I am looking forward to continuing this work through the implementation phase.”
