Bill > SB00406

This bill directs the Connecticut Department of Transportation to create and fund a two-year pilot program testing on-demand microtransit services specifically in Windham and Tolland counties. Microtransit is a flexible form of transportation that typically uses smaller vehicles and allows riders to request rides through a mobile app or online platform, operating more like a flexible shuttle service than traditional fixed-route public transit. The program aims to address transportation needs in rural areas that currently lack public transportation options, potentially improving mobility for residents by providing a more adaptable and responsive transit solution. By focusing on these two rural counties, the pilot program will allow state officials to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and potential benefits of microtransit services in areas with limited transportation infrastructure.
