MERIDEN — Ned Lamont said Monday that if elected governor, he will invest the $100 million in annual revenue from new truck-only tolls and renewed investment from the federal government to improve transportation infrastructure and transit-oriented development. The result would be more people living in cities, better economic growth, an increase in mass transit use and a reduction in car traffic, the Democratic candidate said. Lamont and his running mate, Susan Bysiewicz held a news conference at the revamped train station here, which since the spring has been a stop on the expanded New Haven-to-Springfield line that is carrying about 2,000 riders a day.
