This $1,000,000 Federal Transit Formula Grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (CFDA 20.507) on January 10, 2025, will fund a regional transit planning effort by the Western Connecticut Council of Governments (WESTCOG) and its partners. The goal is to identify and address barriers to efficiently and affordably accessing destinations beyond the boundaries of individual transit operators in the region. Key activities include managing the project, forming a technical advisory committee, engaging the public and transit stakeholders, evaluating existing transit services, developing a ridership profile and survey, proposing service alternatives, and preparing findings and recommendations. The intended outcomes are to facilitate increased transit use, promote environmental benefits, and improve access to essential services and opportunities, particularly for environmental justice populations, while enhancing the region's transportation preparedness and resiliency.
