Transportation

Connecticut’s transportation infrastructure is among the oldest in the nation and faces a number of challenges to meet the transportation needs of today and in the future. The most crucial element to improving our regional and national transportation infrastructure is ensuring a steady stream of federal funding to invest the transportation infrastructure of eastern Connecticut and the Northeast. I was proud to support the Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution for FY 2007 (Public Law 110-5) passed by Congress earlier this year, which contains Connecticut’s full share of Federal transportation resources. The FY 2007 level of funding is $53.4 million above what was provided in FY 2006 and allows for the State’s highway, transit, and transportation safety initiatives to continue unimpeded.
