Do any Gotham readers who have daily contact with Port Authority incompetence think that this will actually work as planned?

Drivers who commute by car between New York and New Jersey can assuage their guilt by buying credits from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to offset their vehicles’ carbon emissions.
At a board meeting on Thursday, the Port Authority announced that it had approved a measure in which it will pay five companies a total of $2.5 million to set up a carbon offset program for the agency.

Money from the carbon-offset credits is typically used to plant trees, build windmills, install solar panels and take other measures that may help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
