Why a DC Congestion Charge: consider air pollution, health and global warming

Created on Sunday, September 23, 2007 Air pollution and carbon emissions from transportation (and power plants) using fossil fuels go hand in hand. Hence, by taking timely steps to reduce carbon emissions that contribute to global warming we likewise reduce air pollution, with immediate benefits to the well being of our residents. I will present here the case for just such a step, implementing a DC congestion charge. A planning process should start now, involving those most affected, the working class majority living in the District. Reducing air pollution would have immediate health benefits, particularly for DC’s children. “Pollution from mobile sources (cars, trucks, vans, etc) is the leading cause of ozone and smog in the District of Columbia, dangerous compounds that cause respiratory illness and childhood asthma."

Congressional Crunch: A Bitter Recipe for the District's Eternal Servitude (As printed in News Dimensions)
