The Board of Directors of The Business Council of Fairfield County Adopts Resolution on Transportation Funding via Gas Tax |
Stamford,
Connecticut; March 2, 2005 - - At its
February 16 meeting, The Board of Directors of The Business Council of
Fairfield County reaffirmed its long standing support for raising the
gas tax to provide the dedicated funds necessary to make vitally needed
transportation infrastructure investments.
It also expressed its support for the leadership of Governor Rell on
this issue by unanimously adopting the following resolution:
“The transportation priorities set by Governor Rell in her 2006 – 2007 proposed budget address one of our state’s most critical needs. We applaud her judgment in setting these priorities and her leadership in placing transportation investment at the center of this year’s legislative debate.”
The Business Council of Fairfield County has published our “Leadership Briefing on Achieving Real Congestion Relief in the I-95 Corridor” outlining the significance of historical disinvestments in the transportation system and the necessary short term and longer term strategies to improve the performance of the I-95 corridor, including statewide financing recommendations.
The report is accessible from our webpage at www.businessfairfield.com/TransportationPlan.htm or can be obtained by contacting Lisa Mercurio of The Business Council of Fairfield County at 203-705-0683.
