Comment:
Dear ARB, Currently a large portion of Cap & Trade funds go to high-speed rail and transit-oriented development. The Proposed Guidelines list other transportation-related projects. Emission reductions from many of these areas are not expected to materialize for several decades. A better approach would be to return the funds back to people as a climate dividend. The California Climate Credit showing up twice a year on electricity bills is a good start. The state could expand that to an off-bill per capita dividend that would be simple, transparent, and be inclusive of disadvantaged communities (AB 1550 Populations) not just coastal cities. Please see the attached comments. Sincerely, Mike Sandler Carbon Share www.carbonshare.org
