Planned Transportation Spending

Connecticut

An examination of the state of Connecticut’s 2010-2013 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program reveals that transit projects account for the largest chunk of the planned spending (44 percent). Road and bridge maintenance/replacement projects follow at 27 percent. Road and bridge capacity expansion projects make up 23 percent of the STIP. Projects classified as “other” account for 3 percent of the STIP and safety projects 2 percent. Bicycle/pedestrian improvements make up 1 percent of the proposed spending, and road or bridge projects with bicycle/pedestrian components (such as adding sidewalks when reconstructing a roadway) make up less than 1 percent of the planned spending.
