Through analysis and public and stakeholder engagement, the plan will outline a vision for a transportation system that connects and enhances our communities. We strive for a plan that supports economic growth, improves lives, and meets the evolving needs of everyone in Connecticut to ensure a thriving, resilient, and equitable place to live, work, and play. Connecticut 2055 will provide strategic direction for all transportation modes including state highways and bridges, freight and passenger rail, ports and waterways, aviation, trucking, public transportation, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Why is it important to update?
As you have experienced, our state is growing—we have an increasing number of residents who call our great state home, along with more diverse economic opportunities. Additionally, technology is advancing rapidly. These trends mean that our transportation needs are changing – how the transportation network is being used and what is needed to keep Connecticut safe.
As a forward-looking state, our long-range transportation plan needs to be updated to ensure we are adapting to these changes so that we can best leverage our major planning initiatives, goals, and planned investments. The LRTP is generally updated every five years and assesses the effects of current trends and forecasts through 2055.
