Description of Publication: The Transportation and Climate Initiative Program (TCI-P) is a regional cap-and-invest program for the mid-Atlantic and New England states that seeks to reduce emissions from the transportation sector by 26% from 2023 to 2032. My thesis examines the potential heterogeneous impacts the program could have on Maine households should the state participate in the future.
