OOIDA Call to Action - Connecticut Members
March 5, 2003

Heads up, Connecticut truckers! Legislation in the state Assembly needs your attention.

Rep. Brian O'Connor (D-Westbrook) introduced a measure to require trucks to travel 10 mph slower than other vehicles on Connecticut highways.
Under HB5982, truckers would be slowed from 65 mph to 55 mph. All other motorists would continue to cruise at 65 mph.
The bill is in the Joint Committee on Transportation. It is vital you contact the committee members to let them know what split speeds would mean to road safety.
