Office workers don’t mind being in the office it is the long commutes and delays they hate. What will it be in 2024? Certainly lower if these budget cuts pass.ĭespite what some clickbait headlines may say, working in the office is not gone forever. But while fewer commuters are taking the train on Mondays and Fridays, ridership overall is still strong - up to about 70% of 2019 levels, and in the first three months of 2023, nearly twice what it was in 2022, according to MTA data. And it is true that commuting patterns have changed in its wake. The Connecticut Department of Transportation says the proposed slash of funds is rooted in low ridership post-pandemic. This couldn’t be more incongruous with Connecticut’s ambitious transportation and climate goals, and will make the state less competitive. The cut will likely mean reduced and delayed service and crowded trains that will send riders into their cars and onto the highway. The new state budget, which proposes cutting nearly $40 million from the New Haven line, is deeply concerning. Between 85,000 and 100,000 weekday riders use the New Haven Line, with commuters to New York City collectively bringing around $9.5 billion in earnings back to spend at local Connecticut businesses.
