There seems to be a disconnect between the urgent need to address the climate crisis and Metro's investment decisions.

Recently Councilor Burkholder voted for Metro's transportation plan that will increase global warming pollution by 49%.

What legacy are we leaving our children if Metro just continues to fund highways-heavy transportation plans that increase pollution?
