Connecticut needs to improve our transportation system. A reliable and modern transportation system is a key to a healthy economy and job growth.  But we do not need tolls or tax increases to make that happen.

CT Senate Republicans presented a plan that shows another way to invest in transportation and grow jobs in a way that’s sustainable and accountable to taxpayers – all without tolls.

The Fiscal Accountability & Sustainable Transportation Reform CT (FASTR CT) Plan recognizes that trust in government is a major issue for residents. This plan would restore what has been stolen from transportation over the last decade and not take any more from taxpayers.

FASTR CT

• Solves our transportation problems (funding and Special Transportation Fund solvency)

• No tolls

• No tax increases

• Cuts back on bonding

• Creates jobs

• Pays off long term liabilities

• Leverages federal dollars, maximizing federal low interest TIFIA loans to potentially 0.8%

• Prioritizes needed projects

• Creates accountability and vetting of all DOT projects

• Ensures communication with New York on rail projects

• Restores money that was diverted from the STF over the last decade
