The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5061, aims to amend chapter 243 of the general statutes by requiring the Department of Transportation to establish a new commuter rail line. This rail line will connect Hartford Union Station to Bradley International Airport, with planned station stops in Hartford, Bloomfield, and Windsor Locks. The initiative is intended to enhance accessibility to the airport and improve its competitiveness.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that mandates the establishment of this commuter rail line. The overall goal is to facilitate better transportation options for travelers and support the growth of Bradley International Airport.
