The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Connecticut Department of Transportation $1,337,429.04 on March 3, 2026, through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ, CFDA 20.268) to fund the Statewide Traffic Signal Circuit Rider (TSCR) Program.

The TSCR Program provides education, technical resources, and assistance to Connecticut agencies responsible for maintaining traffic signals. Performance continues through April 30, 2031, with an ultimate completion date of October 28, 2034. Work is performed statewide in Connecticut.

The award funds a formula grant distributed to the state DOT as prime recipient. Connecticut DOT passes funding to sub-recipients including municipalities and local public bodies for eligible local transportation projects.
