This bill contains a variety of ideas for climate friendly changes in our transportation system, including electric vehicle incentives, fare free public transit, and many more. Rep. White shares the background of how the bill was developed, some of the key takeaways from the bill.

Given the unfortunate threats of violence at State Capitols in the coming week, please stay home and stay safe.
