Connecticut’s public and lawmakers have taken a first, exciting step toward realizing a vision for improved and expanded Shore Line East (SLE) train and bus transit service in Eastern Connecticut. The plan will allow residents and visitors alike cleaner, greener, more comfortable and less congested ways to travel affordably to destinations within and beyond the state such as Norwich, Groton and the Borough of Stonington, and Westerly, RI, with links to NYC, Boston and beyond.
Update: On December 16, 2022, an article by Kimberly Drelich came out in The Day titled Residents, officials voice support for commuter rail expansion. Of the ~fifty people who attended the meeting held at the Naval Sub Base on December 15, 2022, about 25% were GCA members. If fact, the idea to expand SLE rail service is the brainchild of Zell Steever, a member of GCA’s Board of Directors. Click HERE for GCA’s 12/8/2022 Alert and HERE for more info from CT DOT.
