Gov. Ned Lamont says he’s had “very preliminary” conversations with private investors who might help develop a proposed electronic highway tolling system in Connecticut.
Gov. Ned Lamont said Wednesday he is working with fellow Democrats to craft a final tolling bill that addresses some of the public’s concerns, such as ensuring no more than 50 overhead electronic toll collectors on four Connecticut highways.
The leading proponent in the Connecticut General Assembly for installing tolls on Connecticut highways predicted Tuesday that lawmakers may pass legislation this year that begins the process of creating an electronic system.
