Steady Service Builds Ridership!! A case for building service on the Shore Line East. ctnewsjunkie.com/2024/04/24/dot…
Zell was a great man who had such hope and vision for what southeastern CT could be. The best way to honor his legacy is to continue to fight for robust service along the Shoreline East and expansion of the line east into RI. 💔

We are devastated to share news of the passing of our member, Zell Steever. Zell was an ardent advocate of the Shoreline East and expansion of the line into Rhode Island. He was generous of spirit and worked tirelessly to improve service and access to public transit for all.
Transit Advocates Voice Frustration With Shore Line East Funding in Doubt - CT Examiner ctexaminer.com/2024/04/05/tra…
News coverage on the Shore Line East and how it it is not faring well with the Appropriations Committee. The funding is not being supported by the Committee. news.google.com/articles/CBMiZ…
The Connecticut Public Transportation Council supports Section 7 of #HB5213 and hopes to see it move from the Transportation Committee for a vote - @GovNedLamont @SenatorCohenCT @TransportHTFD
Sadly, it’s worse than that. CDOT has estimated a 4 to 8 month ramp up. Realistically based upon past experiences, you’d be looking at a January 2026 start up.

The agenda is posted for the CGA Appropriations Committee meeting tomorrow. Neither SLE bill; SB277 nor HB5006 is on the CGA Appropriations Committee agenda for review tomorrow. They will not coming out of committee this session.
CT CGA Appropriations Committee meeting tomorrow 4/4 at 10:00 a.m. Still waiting to see the agenda. We should know better where additional service stands for the Shore Line East and how successful the Shore Line East corridor legislators were in getting funding for the line.

More Council feedback on the Microtransit program and how it can serve as an effective last mile option.
HB 5006: An Act Restoring Funding To The Shore Line East Rail Line remains in the Appropriations Committee. The deadline for the bill to come out is 4/5, 1 week from Friday !! Contact the committee and ask them to move it out !! cga.ct.gov/app/
Listen in for the Council’s thoughts on the new microtransit program !! @CTDOTOfficial wtnh.com/news/connectic…
Hmmmm ….. so you say there was a press event about the micro transit program that CDOT reviewed this with the CPTC ??
Hmmmm ….. so you say there was a press event about the micro transit program that CDOT reviewed this with the CPTC ??
Here’s what IS possible and HAS been accomplished on the SLE when the vision of offering steady and constant service is carried out ….over 63,000 monthly trips back when the line had steady and reliable service. It’s already proven the ridership is there. dailyvoice.com/connecticut/no…
Appreciated all the advocates who came out to the CPTC meeting in New London last night. It was a packed room with many more remote.The message was clear: the SLE deserves the same service and opportunity as all other lines. Time for the CGA and @GovNedLamont to listen and act.

@CTRailCouncil I’m sorry to hear of Zelly’s passing. My condolences to his friend and family. He was passionate abt expanding SLE service.
@CTRailCouncil We are all devastated with the news of the passing of our council member Zell Steever.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Zell on the CPTC. Zell was a tireless advocate for rail, particularly the Shore Line East. He was a proud, dignified and determined advocate. In the words of his wife Liz Raisbeck, we lost “our rail champion”. His voice will be missed.
We are devastated to share news of the passing of our member, Zell Steever. Zell was an ardent advocate of the Shoreline East and expansion of the line into Rhode Island. He was generous of spirit and worked tirelessly to improve service and access to public transit for all.
Although I only had limited time spent with Zell, his passion and dedication to Southeast Connecticut will be hard to replicate.
