The presidents of the Motor Transport Association of Connecticut and the Connecticut Construction Industries Association both questioned if that could be done. Joe Sculley, president of MTAC, said it is highly unlikely, and Don Shubert, president of CCIA, said it is hard to judge without funding and project schedules for each proposed bridge improvement project. MTAC opposes the latest plan to toll heavy commercial trucks to finance the rehabilitation or replacement of the 12 targeted bridges. The CCIA preferred an earlier proposal to toll cars and trucks at 50 location on five major highways, but supports the limited tolling plan on the table now.
Lamont has a trucks-only tolls plan. Trade groups on both sides have questions.
