With a strong statewide #PublicTransit system, we can reduce traffic congestion, protect our climate, improve air quality, and connect people to opportunities. The #RTAAdvancement bill will ensure our Regional Transit Authorities can deliver a better transportation future.

Whether they burn gas, oil, or propane, heating appliances emit high levels of NOx (which forms ozone & soot) & other pollutants that lead to serious health issues like heart & lung problems & even lead to premature death. @EPA has the authority to act. sierraclub.org/press-release…
