Proposal largely reflects priorities for Climate Safe Infrastructure
Sacramento, CA – Legislation to extend California’s landmark Cap & Trade program, now dubbed Cap-and-Invest, is headed to the Governor’s desk for signature. Leadership from The Climate Safe Infrastructure Coalition – led by the California Alliance for Jobs, League of California Cities, California State Association of Counties and California Transit Association has been working to advocate for extension of the program this year.
Assembly Bill 1207 and Senate Bill 840 passed out of the Legislature Saturday. The following statement can be attributed to the Climate Safe Infrastructure Coalition.
“We applaud the Legislature and Governor for this thoughtful package to extend California’s Cap & Invest program. The package prioritizes investments in physical and natural infrastructure that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions; make us safer and more resilient to the impacts of climate change; and support good paying, middle-class jobs. We look forward to engaging with the Legislature and Administration on the implementation of the expenditure plan to establish greater funding certainty for transportation, infrastructure and housing programs and to prioritize investment in remaining priorities that were not included in the plan such as organic waste recycling, climate adaptation infrastructure, and support for advanced clean fleets programs.”
The Climate Safe Infrastructure Coalition is comprised of more than 30 statewide business, labor, local government, and transit organizations. For more information visit ClimateSafeInfrastructureCA.com.
