Dear Neighbor,
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) announced a high-visibility anti-speeding campaign aiming to increase awareness and promote safer driving behaviors with increased speed limit enforcement.

In 2022, Connecticut recorded 115 fatalities due to speeding and reckless driving. This is unacceptable.

The campaign will provide local and state police grants to increase enforcement and officer visibility on the roads.

Deaths from speeding and reckless driving are completely preventable, and through this campaign I believe we can save many lives.
 
I wanted to inform you about the changes to motor vehicle tax assessments adopted by the Connecticut General Assembly during the special session last month. Here’s what you can expect going forward.

In addition to the recent income and property tax cuts, this measure will result in lower taxes for the vast majority of vehicle owners and small businesses. These changes were a bipartisan effort to lower the tax burden on Connecticut residents.

Many car owners will see their assessments fall compared to the previous system. The average car will have an 8% lower assessment.

This reform was originally passed in 2022 in response to rising used car prices during the pandemic. It creates more predictability for future car assessments.

I hope this information helps clarify the recent changes and provides a better understanding of what to expect in the future.
 
As always, please feel free to contact me to share your ideas and concerns.
Sincerely,

Roland Lemar
State Representative
