HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont and Connecticut Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto today announced that nearly $10 million in grants are being awarded to nine rural communities across Connecticut as part of the Transportation Rural Improvement Program (TRIP), a state-funded program administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation designed to support the state’s rural communities, which are often ineligible for many federal transportation programs.
“Too often, our smaller towns get left behind when it comes to federal transportation dollars, simply because of their size. We established TRIP to change that,” Governor Lamont said. “What makes Connecticut special is as much about our small towns as it is our cities, and they deserve the same commitment to safety and infrastructure. This round of funding will make roads safer and neighborhoods more connected for generations to come.”
“Every town in Connecticut deserves resources to keep its roads and residents safe, regardless of population size,” Commissioner Eucalitto said. “Since we launched TRIP in 2022, millions have been invested into the state’s rural communities. This latest round continues that momentum, giving nine more towns needed resources to improve safety and mobility in their communities.”
The nine selected projects in this third round of the program include:
