Comment
I would urge you to consider investing Cap-And-Trade Auction
Proceeds in cycling infrastructure.

Transportation is a huge generator of carbon, and it is hard to
find a lower carbon alternative to serious transportation. In
addition there are tremendous health benefits to cycling. In much
of California, cycling is a year round alternative, especially for
the majority of trips which are short distance. Compared to
vehicles, bicycle infrastructure is very cheap with a big bang for
the buck. For all these reasons, a small investment in promoting
cycling can have a very large carbon impact.

Sincerely,
Jerry Plummer
