Over the course of the last 12 months, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has awarded more than $57.3 million for 17 projects across Connecticut through the Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program (LOTCIP). The program, which was created in 2013, provides state dollars in lieu of federal funds to municipalities to help execute important local infrastructure projects.
“LOTCIP is delivering state funds to projects that make a difference in local communities. By taking on the burden of dealing with federal red tape, CTDOT helps municipalities deliver important projects more efficiently and quickly,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto. “Over the last 12 years, this program has grown in popularity and success, which is a testament to state and local governments working together. The CTDOT team looks forward to continuing this work in collaboration with Connecticut’s towns, cities, and Councils of Government.”
