Next CTfastrak Open House Events November 15 and November 20

11/15/2013

 
CTfastrak is bus rapid transit.  Transit goes hand-in-hand with bikeable, walkable communities.  

(Newington, CT) -- The Connecticut Department of Transportation will be holding a series of Open House meetings to update the public on the construction and service plan progress of CTfastrak, Connecticut's first bus rapid transit system, scheduled to begin operations in early 2015.  The meetings are free and open to all members of the public.

During the planning stage, CTfastrak was known as the New Britain-Hartford Busway. The project includes 11 transit stations in New Britain, Newington, West Hartford and Hartford with buses running every three to six minutes during peak commuting hours.

When CTfastrak opens for operation, some bus routes in Bristol, Plainville, New Britain, Newington, West Hartford, Cheshire, Southington, Waterbury and Hartford will change and most will have much more frequent service.

The public is invited to learn more about CTfastrak and share what is important to them and help design a transit system that will efficiently serve their travel needs.  For those who are unable to attend in person, comments on the service plan can also be made via e-mail to info@ctfastrak.com.

The next CTfastrak Open House events will be held on the following dates and venues:
