If you are a commuter or if you are interested in learning more about state transportation issues, I would like to invite you to a transportation forum in Norwalk on Wednesday, March 28 with Department of Transportation Commissioner James Redeker. I am co-hosting the forum along with my Norwalk delegation colleagues, state Reps. Fred Wilms and Gail Lavielle.  We have scheduled it to give all of you an opportunity to discuss your thoughts and concerns about state and local transportation needs with ConnDOT Commissioner Redeker and local legislators. ConnDOT has proposed raising rail and bus fares 21.28 percent over the next 3 years,significantly reducing rail service on the Danbury and Waterbury Lines. Additionally,the governor has cancelled more than $4 billion in transportation projects statewide and introduced a proposal to bring tolls back to the state, raise the gas tax 7 cents over four years and implement a new tax on tires.
