Issue Position: Creating a Strategic Plan to Promote TOD

Issue Position

We must develop and implement a statewide strategic plan for a balanced transportation system, coordinated with a statewide plan for economic development and other statewide plans. For instance, we must identify where we are having success and build on the progress made by bodies like the Connecticut Port Authority, incorporating their vision for moving Connecticut forward into our overall strategic plan. Moreover, I strongly support transit-oriented development and densification in our urban centers around transit. I will propose changes to zoning regulations, such as reducing or abolishing minimum parking ratios, to promote TOD.
