She appeared to dodge the topic completely. Susan---sit down with Senator Dodd for some schoolin'! Transportation is vitally important to Connecticut's economy and the funding requirements that are looming will be a bitter pill for everyone to swallow. We absolutely need a leader who is courageous enough to address this topic effectively. Kudos to Senator LeBeau for the reality check. I don't know much about him, but will certainly look into him now. While I wasn’t in attendance, I was shocked by the New Haven Register’s coverage of Susan Bysiewicz’s dismal response.

The Busway can be an important regional project for the greater Hartford region, addressing mobilty in the most congested corridor in that region. But if you define "regional" on a higher plane to include more inter-city or inter-state travel, I would agree the Busway does not address issues at the same level as the rail project, even if you include the potential for one-seat bus rides from as far afield as Meriden, Waterbury and other far-removed Hartford commutersheds communities. “Regional” is a relative term.

Come on--the project will only run 9.5 miles! I see how NHHS rail is a project of regional significance, but the busway? Come on–the project will only run 9.5 miles!
