BOSTON Though only Massachusetts and three of the 13 state and city governments that had been part of discussions around creating a regional effort to staunch vehicle emissions along the East Coast agreed Monday to be part of the program from the get-go, Gov. Charlie Baker said it is a pretty good place to start.
Twelve states and Washington, D.C. began the process more than two years ago of developing a regional cap-and-invest program to reduce carbon pollution from cars and trucks and generate the resources needed to expand clean transit options and improve public health. On Monday, the leaders of four jurisdictions Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Washington, D.C. signed on to be the program s initial members.
