Transportation advocates, planners and policymakers will gather in Hartford next month for the fourth annual Transportation Funding Forum, Keeping Transportation Investment on Track in Connecticut. The forum is hosted by the Capitol Region Council of Governments, Connecticut Association for Community Transportation, Connecticut Construction Industries Association, Connecticut Fund for the Environment, Transit for Connecticut and the Tri-State Transportation Campaign.
This year’s forum will be focused on how transportation investments can grow the economy and generate the revenues that are required to support all types of necessary programs. The timing for a forum on this topic couldn’t be better: the Governor’s Transportation Finance Panel is expected to release its recommendations in the coming weeks, and state legislators have begun to discuss how to go about closing a deficit while making sure the state’s limited transportation funds are used solely for transportation purposes.
Keeping Transportation Investment on Track in Connecticut will take place on Wednesday, December 16 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. (registration opens at 8:30 a.m.) in Room 2C of the Legislative Office Building in Hartford, Connecticut. James Corless, Director of Transportation for America, will give a keynote address, and Governor Dannel Malloy will give the opening remarks.
To RSVP, call (860) 693-0368 or email Mary Tomolonius at mary.cact@yahoo.com.
