News Times Live State urged to put buses on the roadsToo many people are driving on the state's roads.
"I-95 is a traffic nightmare," Karen Burnaska, coordinator of Transit for Connecticut, said Tuesday. "I-84 is becoming almost as congested."
In a report issued Monday, Transit for Connecticut asked the state to take some of those cars off the road by increasing state spending on bus transportation by nearly $280 million over the next five years.
The report said this would help the state's economy, its residents and the environment by creating a more mobile workforce without adding cars to the highways.
