CTDOT anticipates over $108 million of SOGR needs from 2020-2023 for its Rail Facilities. This includes an Approach initial backlog in 2020 of nearly $84 million in SOGR needs, and an additional $24 million of SOGR needs in 2022. While other SOGR needs may arise in this horizon period, the prioritization model was not able to CTDOT uses a prioritization capture other potential needs due to lack of formal condition assessments at some facilities. Current tool to support its analytical funding for SOGR activities was calculated based on CTDOT’s Capital Plan with the help of CTDOT’s Capital approach, predicting transit Services Unit. asset conditions and SOGR needs. Based on projections made using CTDOT’s prioritization tool given current funding, to make progress on its SOGR needs CTDOT should invest approximately $9 million in Tier I rail facilities over the 4 year horizon The tool has a series of models from 2020-2023.
