The Road to Recovery

Investing in CT Transportation

Tuesday

Jul 21, 2020

9-10am

Registration is no longer available for this event.

share

In Connecticut, both transit ridership and vehicle traffic have dropped during the COVID-19 pandemic. But bus transit has retained higher ridership than other modes, serving the essential workers who have served Connecticut throughout the crisis. What do ridership patterns during the pandemic tell us about the investments we need to make in transit as we move towards recovery? How are transportation agencies planning for the future as the state reopens? And how can policymakers shape Connecticut’s transportation system for the better? Join AAA Northeast and the Regional Plan Association for a discussion of these issues with some of Connecticut’s transit leaders.
