据海外媒体报道,科罗拉多州签署了一项新法规,准备在全州范围内提供为期一个月的免费公共交通,并且明年也将持续这个计划,过境交通也被包含在内。

从八月份开始,RTD 和科罗拉多州的其他地方交通机构通过科罗拉多州交通机构协会 (CASTA) 为所有乘客提供免费的公共交通服务。
科罗拉多州能源办公室 (CEO) 曾有一为期两年的臭氧季节过境补助计划,为该州提供改善空气质量、减少温室气体污染排放和节约能源的资金,而“改善空气零票价”计划就被纳入臭氧计划管理下。

“改善空气的零票价计划为人们节省了支出,减少了交通和污染,并扩大了公共交通的使用范围,”州长Polis说,“我们的清洁空气计划与立法机关合作,正在进行变革,以保护我们呼吸的空气,为人们和社区节省资金,并改善科罗拉多人的交通”

除 RTD 外,通过 CASTA 参与“更好空气零票价”计划的公交机构还包括其他众多市区、政府管理部门及社区。
该计划被作为被投入 3.4 亿美元来解决空气质量和气候问题的转型立法计划的一部分,将有助于确保科罗拉多州实现该州温室气体制定的目标(GHG) 减少污染路线,以实现与 2005 年水平相比到 2025 年减少 26%、到 2030 年减少 50%、到 2050 年减少 90% 的排放目标。

“无论你是去工作、跑腿还是出去玩,臭氧季节交通补助计划让科罗拉多人更容易使用公共交通而不是开车。这在科罗拉多州最热的夏季臭氧污染最严重时尤其重要” 科罗拉多州能源办公室副主任 Dominique Gómez 说道。

除了电动自行车和电动汽车等其他低排放或零排放交通工具之外,增加公共交通工具的使用对于保护科罗拉多人的健康至关重要。该计划还通过降低公共交通成本来改善科罗拉多人的生活。科罗拉多州交通系统发现,依赖交通的低收入乘客在提供折扣或免费票价(包括医疗和其他社会服务)时,出行次数要多得多。该计划可以帮助科罗拉多人在节省资金更多地低碳出行。

RTD 总经理兼首席执行官 Debra A. Johnson 表示:“由于公共交通的使用在丹佛都会区和全球范围内对抗臭氧排放至关重要,RTD 致力于通过更环保的出行方式为社区提供价值” “零票价改善空气倡议是一个很好的提议,可以鼓励整个地区的新交通习惯,同时支持环境管理。对于那些不习惯使用公共交通的人来说,现在是尝试公共交通的最佳时机”

“Durango Transit 很高兴参与该州的 Free Fare for Better Air 计划,”杜兰戈市交通局局长 Sarah Hill 说。“一个月的免费车费对于我们的常客来说是一种很好的奖励,它是一种向新观众介绍公交优势的绝佳方式。通过 SB-180 提供的资金,我们期待在整个 8 月份对杜兰戈的交通拥堵和空气质量产生有意义的影响。”

对于损失,科罗拉多州表示符合条件的公交机构和 RTD 可以使用该计划的资金来弥补票价,包括乘客量增加的相关费用。
