Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future

We are a coalition of CT students who support responsible, effective, and environmentally conscious investments in our state’s transportation infrastructure.

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

This weekend, @GovNedLamont, @WillHaskellCT, and @Steinberg06880 will be hosting a town hall to discuss the urgent need for investments in transportation.

One of our student organizers, @MikeHernandezCT, took some time to explain what’s at stake.

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

Thank your for your leadership, @WillHaskellCT.

[Will Haskell @WillHaskellCT]

Fixing our roads and modernizing our trains can’t wait any longer. My constituents want Hartford to solve problems, not just talk about them. That’s why I’m ready to vote on this issue any day, any time. I’ll clear my schedule. How about you, @CathyOsten?

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

Thank you for your leadership, @SteveStafstrom.

[Steve Stafstrom @SteveStafstrom]

This is crazy- let’s vote on the plan. Continuing to kick the can down the road and borrowing even more money 100% on the backs of CT taxpayers is what got us in this mess to start with.

#Danbury is a critical point for commuters who travel to #NewYork and Fairfield County on a daily basis.

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

Here’s @Austinwkeller, a student at Brien McMahon High School, talking about the importance of investing in transportation.

With better transportation, CT will be better positioned to bring in the next generation of workers and leaders.

Cut us a slice? #CT2030

Another masterpiece by Sam. He made this cake for @GovNedLamont and presented it to him during the taping of this week's installment of Capitol Report, which airs Sunday mornings at 10am on @WTNH cc: @ctcapitolreport

[Luke Bronin @LukeBronin]

You see why what you’re saying is totally inconsistent, right?

[CT Senate Democrats @CTSenateDems]

Transportation forum happening now in Westport. It's time to invest in our infrastructure, grow our economy, and combat climate change!

[Marc Bradley @marc_bradley]

Pro-Jobs Rally in #Westport Big crowd out for @GovNedLamont to support transportation investments in the State. #CT2030

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

Remember, when opponents of investing in transportation say “no tolls”, what they actually mean is “more borrowing.” Don’t let them mortgage our future.

[CT Senate Democrats @CTSenateDems]

How do Republicans plan on paying for transportation? They want to raid our Rainy Day Fund, which has reached an historic high. Here are the MASSIVE funding cuts our most vulnerable #CT residents would face as a result of this. #CT2030 plan here����👉https://t.co/RghgvuuE98

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

@senatorduff Thank you, Senator Duff! Investing in Connecticut’s transportation will help ensure the future prosperity of our state.

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

The Senate Democrats have been leading advocates for responsible investments in transportation. Truck-only tolling is the an effective and equitable way to finance the much needed upgrades here in Connecticut. #CT2030

[CT Senate Democrats @CTSenateDems]

If trucks don't pay, future generations will. More details on our responsible plan here: https://t.co/RghgvuuE98

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

If you haven’t had a chance, take a minute to listen to @GovNedLamont on @wherewelive. The Governor explained the urgent need to make investments in the future of Connecticut’s transportation.

[Where We Live @wherewelive]

.@GovNedLamont joins host @LucyVN in the studio tomorrow. We’ll talk about his priorities for the state in the new year and take your questions in real-time, on air and on Facebook Live. What questions do you have for the governor?

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

Very strange of @WillHaskellCT to publicly post the time and place of this town hall meeting. We heard from the Republicans that this was a “top secret” event. Unless... 🧐

[Will Haskell @WillHaskellCT]

The time to invest in our transportation infrastructure is now. That's why @Steinberg06880 and I are hosting @GovNedLamont in Westport this Sunday for a Town Hall on the CT2030 plan and Connecticut's transportation future.

[Mike Hernández @MikeHernandezCT]

Hi, I’m actually from Stamford and I’m a @UConn student, and not @Alex4CT’s personal assistant. I follow her because she has the courage to hold government accountable. That’s called purpose.

[Will Haskell @WillHaskellCT]

Spent the morning meeting commuters at Branchville and talking about CT 2030. The constituents I met want more frequent trains that travel directly into Manhattan and modernized rail cars. I look forward to supporting this long-overdue investment in the Danbury branch line.

[Will Haskell @WillHaskellCT]

I can do you one better.

This 1963 timetable shows a 8:10 AM train leaving Westport, arriving at Grand Central by 9:14 AM. That train is slower today. We’re moving in the wrong direction.

[Students for Connnecticut’s Transportation Future @Transport4CT]

Very encouraging!

[FFCCT @ffcct]

"The meeting today comes as a coalition of unions, construction companies, regional councils of government and chambers of commerce urged legislative leaders to enact a transportation financing scheme by year’s end." https://t.co/oPokC8C5LY

[Will Haskell @WillHaskellCT]

Great turnout at @203action tonight! Thanks for letting me stop by to talk about how #CT2030 would reduce commuting time in Fairfield County and bring our infrastructure into the 21st century.
