April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has launched a statewide distracted Driving Awareness and Enforcement Campaign to Keep Connecticut Roads Safe.

Starting Wednesday, May 7, you will need a REAL ID, U.S. Passport, or U.S. Passport Card to board domestic flights or access certain federal facilities (such as military bases and other federal buildings).

A new state program is already helping thousands of Connecticut residents eliminate crushing debt from outstanding medical bills.

Under a recently announced partnership between the state and the national non-profit Undue Medical Debt, almost 23,000 Connecticut residents are having $30 million of medical bill debt completely erased.
