Connecticut Department of Transportation's Bureau of Public Transportation to Survey Commuters about Commuting Habit Changes Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

The Connecticut Department of Transportation's Bureau of Public Transportation (CTDOT) is conducting a survey of Connecticut commuters about changes to their commutes, as well as their thoughts on commuting when returning to work in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The brief online survey will allow CTDOT to collect basic data about current and projected commuting habits, and how commuters foresee their commutes when returning to work. The survey takes only a few minutes to complete and will also ask how workers commuted before the pandemic. Information from the survey will be shared with state and local transit operators and will directly assist in tailoring and modifying services to best meet the needs of Connecticut commuters.

CTDOT will also be reaching out directly to employers that partner with CTrides to request employee participation in the survey.  CTrides and local transit systems will also promote the survey through social media and emails.

The survey can be accessed through Monday, July 27, 2020, here, or by visiting www.ctrides.com/survey.

Added Service on CTrail Hartford Line and Danbury Line Service Restoration

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.
