The effort to revive tolls on Connecticut roads to fund overdue infrastructure improvements was put on hold just a few weeks before COVID-19 steered attention elsewhere. What has not gone away is the need. It was there long before 2015, when Gov. Dannel Malloy pitched a 30-year transportation vision with a $100 billion price tag. The draft of the latest STIP identifies priorities for 2021-2024. These are primarily renovations, and are hardly visionary, but the $3.9 billion price tag serves as a reminder that it’s expensive to keep 3.6 million Connecticut residents and millions of out-of-town travelers moving through the state. As always, any work also means more obstacles, more waits for the people who use the roads and rails. We are all used to waiting. But we now seem to be driving in circles in addressing the need that sparked the tolls proposal in the first place.
