SB 714 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT RESTORING SERVICE ON THE SHORE LINE EAST RAIL LINE.

SB 714 requires the Department of Transportation to restore Shore Line East rail service to its pre-pandemic level by July 1, 2025. This directly affects commuters who rely on this rail line, reversing service cuts implemented during the 2020 COVID-19 and civil emergency. The bill mandates the department to return to the same service frequency and coverage that existed before March 2020, without specifying new operational details.
