Though overall revenues for the budget's Special Transportation Fund grew 22% over the course of Gov. Ned Lamont's first term, bonding to finance highway, bridge and rail upgrades barely increased. Annual transportation bond issuances averaged $725 million during Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s last term but rose just 2.6% to $743.8 million during Lamont’s first four years in office.
