A long-range transportation plan is a federally mandated policy document that outlines strategies and actions for addressing transportation issues and needs in Connecticut. It will serve as a framework for preparing future, project-specific transportation plans such as CTDOT’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The plan is generally updated every five years. Connecticut 2055 covers the period from 2024 through 2055.
