With construction on the interstates, proposed rail service from New Haven to Springfield, Mass., and Tweed New Haven Regional Airport searching for ways to stay in business, Connecticut has become a hub of transportation transformation. Follow continuing coverage here from the New Haven Register.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing, beginning Monday, July 13, additional train service on the CTrail Hartford Line as well as the resumption of the Danbury Line train service. The Danbury Line service was temporarily replaced with scheduled bus service to accelerate a track-work program that would have otherwise required additional time and further disruption to riders. Waterbury Line train service remains suspended with ongoing track and signal program work that will enable future expanded rail service.
Hartford Line customers should visit hartfordline.com for the most up to date service information. Service alerts, customizable by station and/or train, are now available for the Hartford Line by text message or email. Customers should sign up for service alerts at hartfordline.com and click on "service alerts" to get all the latest information on Hartford Line trains.
Danbury Line customers should visit mta.info/mnr for the most up to date service information.
The Department continues to prioritize the safety of customers and front-line train crews during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Trains and stations are sanitized every day including door handles, armrests and other high touch areas. Customers also play a critical role in safety and can do their part by wearing a mask and practicing social distancing while on board trains and at stations. Customers are encouraged to pre-purchase their rail fares before boarding when possible. Rail fares are also available via the NY MTA eTix and CTrail eTix mobile apps or via ticket vending machines at select stations.
