Project - CONNECTICUT: Variable Pricing in I-95 Corridor from New York to New Haven

The study will evaluate the use of congestion pricing strategies in the I-95 corridor from New York to New Haven. The corridor, which includes two expressways and a major commuter rail line, is severely congested with relatively little opportunity to provide additional highway capacity. Congestion pricing offers an opportunity to manage congestion through the more efficient use of existing facilities. It also provides an opportunity to finance improvements to the highways and commuter rail that can provide additional congestion relief.

October - December 2012 Update

A notice to proceed was granted to the consultant on January 30, 2013. Data collection activities have begun. Staff met with MPO's in the corridor to discuss the public involvement process that will be critical to the study's success.
