The Way We Move

Connecticut Transportation Snapshot.

TRANSIT OPERATORS

Many options, one goal.

Moving Connecticut takes more than one system. It relies on a coordinated network of public transit operators providing reliable bus and rail service for residents and visitors across the state. Connecticut also offers a growing number of microtransit services — flexible, on-demand transportation options that operate like a shared ride you can book via app or phone. In addition, statewide paratransit services provide accessible transportation for individuals with disabilities who are unable to use regular bus routes. These services work together to connect communities, expand access, and make it easier for people to get where they need to go. Explore the many ways to travel by learning more about each transit operator on their websites or ours.

COUNCILS OF GOVERNMENT

Regional Collaboration in Action.

Imagine your neighbors teaming up to improve your entire region, that’s exactly what happens through Connecticut’s Councils of Governments (COGs). These are groups of local leaders who collaborate on major issues that affect multiple communities, like transportation, infrastructure, land use, and environmental planning. By sharing ideas, data, and resources, COGs tackle challenges that go beyond any one town or city, creating solutions that benefit the whole region. It’s local leadership working together to make life better for everyone. That’s collaboration in action.
