Lamont’s updated plan will also focus on alternative transportation financing from the federal government as he seeks to shave time off long commutes for workers and improve the state’s job outlook. Top legislators and representatives from the Lamont administration met with federal transportation officials recently to discuss low-interest loans available through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Build America Bureau. While looking at the task from different angles, Lamont’s transportation team is still studying the possibility of erecting tolls exclusively on bridges with the money raised dedicated to repairs on each specific bridge. The governor said that concept is still at the early stages.
