Connecticut Receives $30 Million for Rail Project

(HARTFORD, Conn.) -- The Department of Transportation announced on Monday that it awarded the state of Connecticut $30 million for a rail system.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy requested the funding after Florida rejected over $2 billion in federal funding for a rail system. The Connecticut award is considerably less than the $227 million requested for the New Haven-Hartford-Springfield high-speed rail project, which is set to launch in 2016.

“This is great news and a win for the state of Connecticut as we seek to increase mass transportation throughout the region in order to create new jobs and make our state more attractive to businesses,” said Governor Malloy. “The rail project will form the backbone of an interconnected, regional rail network linking key economic centers through the northeast corridor. Supporting up to 50 daily passenger trains and reaching speeds up to 110 miles an hour, this line will provide some of the best rail service in the nation.”
