The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 12, aims to secure funding for the Shore Line East rail line to enhance rail service between New Haven and Mystic. Specifically, it calls for the appropriation of sufficient funds from the Special Transportation Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill stipulates that increased rail service will be provided on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays from the last Monday in May to the first Monday in September.

The primary purpose of this legislation is to alleviate traffic congestion on Interstate Route 95 and to promote tourism along the Connecticut shoreline during the summer months. By increasing rail service during peak travel times, the bill seeks to offer a viable alternative for travelers and support local tourism initiatives.
