As you know the issue of returning tolls to Connecticut’s highways has been discussed in the legislature this session.

I wanted to let you to know the Transportation committee will hold a public hearing on a bill to return tolls to Connecticut and a bill protecting the dedicated Special Transportation Fund from being raided for non-transportation purposes.

You can read the language of the toll bill here:
HB 6818, An Act Concerning the Establishment of Electronic Tolls at the State’s Borders
and the transportation fund bill here:
HB-5927, An Act Prohibiting Transfers From the Special Transportation Fund.

The public hearing will be held on Wednesday, February 25th, at 10:30 AM in Room 1 E of the Legislative Office Building.
