Tolls Public Hearing on 3/14

Because the issues of transportation and the possibility of tolls coming back to Connecticut are critical to our communities, I am writing to let you know that the Transportation Committee will be holding an important public hearing on Wednesday March 14th, at 10:30 a.m. in the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.

Transportation is such a critical issue for the residents in the 23rd District. I want to make sure your voice is heard.

A few of the bills on the public hearing agenda are proposals to bring electronic tolls to our state. Click to view the list of bills.

I encourage you to let your voice be heard. This is your chance to let the Transportation committee know your thoughts on implementing electronic tolls on all major highways, including I-95, I-91, I-84, I-395, I-691, as well as Route 9, Route 2, Route 6, Route 7, Route 8 and Route 15.

You can testify in-person at the hearing. (Click here for a guide for testifying at hearings and here for driving directions to the Connecticut State Capitol and Legislative Office Building).

You can also email testimony on any of the bills to tratestimony@cga.ct.gov.  Your comments can be as brief as you like, but there is no limit on the length of written testimony. Just include your name and town, the bill in the subject line of the email, and copy my office at Dave.Yaccarino@housegop.ct.gov.

As always, if you are unable to attend but would still like to connect with me, please call: 1(800) 842-1423 or email: Dave.Yaccarino@housegop.ct.gov for more information.

Sincerely,
