Transportation and Climate Initiative

The Transportation and Climate Initiative is a proposed interstate compact in the United States, which aims to limit greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicle fuel sources in the northeastern United States using a cap and trade system on wholesale suppliers.[1] Participating jurisdictions are the District of Columbia and the U.S. states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia.[1]

Most of the states discussing TCI already participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a cap and trade system for greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation.
