Distracted drivers often do not see the risk of their behavior until it’s too late. If your attention is anywhere other than the road, you are driving distracted and putting yourself and others at risk of a crash, injury, or death. We are all counting on each other to drive responsibly.

State Representative Mary Mushinsky (D- Wallingford) commends the Connecticut Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) for increasing funding in order to complete the Quinnipiac River Linear Trail Fireworks Island bridge project in Wallingford.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation issued the following press release regarding the opening the Exit 33 on I-95 in Stratford:

The solution to the I-95 noise problem will not be easy and will take more work. I am grateful for the work of the community group, specifically the Stop the Noise 95 group, the Riverside Association, and the Byram Neighborhood Association for their strong advocacy in our conversations with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT). I want to personally thank the governor for his help and consideration of our efforts.

In recent days, two priority proposals I co-sponsored have advanced: expanded eligibility for absentee ballots, which is now law, and legislation aimed to curb the theft and transfer of catalytic converters, now headed for a Senate vote.
