Senate Bill No. 660, identified as File No. 234, proposes the establishment of a task force to study the feasibility of developing a multimodal transportation center in the towns of Stonington and Groton. The study will include the creation of a feasibility plan for multimodal transportation, examining current transportation options to ease traffic congestion, estimating costs for implementation or improvement of such options, identifying necessary permits, and developing alternatives to alleviate parking and traffic pressure in the Mystic area with a focus on green transportation.

The task force will consist of various representatives from the towns of Stonington and Groton, the state government, local organizations advocating for business and tourism, local traffic authorities, tourist attractions, and a resident of either Stonington or Groton. The task force is required to submit a report on its findings and recommendations to the joint standing committees of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to commerce, transportation, and the environment by January 1, 2024. The bill indicates that there will be no fiscal impact from the establishment of this task force, as it has the expertise to meet the requirements of the bill without additional costs. The act will take effect upon passage and will create a new section in the law.
