Leading Democratic lawmakers in the Connecticut House of Representatives have responded to Gov. Ned Lamont’s transportation investment plan with a proposal to toll only trucks.
Lamont’s transportation plan, titled CT2030 and presented Nov. 7, outlines $14 billion in investment for roads and bridges, and $7 billion for public transportation. The plan proposes “user fees,” collected through electronic overhead gantries, to partially support the investment.
According to the governor’s plan, revenue would support 14 bridge projects and fund other transportation improvement projects. The tolls would be located at the sites of the 14 projects and would levy a fee on cars and trucks.
