CTDOT recuerda a los pasajeros de transporte público que las tarifas de autobús se reanudarán el 1 de abril de 2023

El Departamento de Transporte de Connecticut (CTDOT) les recuerda a lospasajeros de transporte público que las tarifas de los autobuses se reanudarán el 1 de abril de 2023 para todos los autobuses y paratránsito de la ADA en Connecticut.   

Las tarifas se han suspendido en todos los autobuses de transporte público en Connecticut desde el 1 de abril de 2022, como resultado de una ley estatal que el gobernador Lamont firmó el año pasado. Las restricciones federales impiden que el estado extienda esta suspensión por más de 12 meses.

Se alienta a los pasajeros a comprar boletos con anticipación para evitar filas en los centros de servicio al cliente y en las cajas de tarifas al abordar los autobuses. Los boletos y pases de CTtransit se pueden comprar en tiendas minoristas en Connecticut, en línea o por correo.

Connecticut Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto (second from the left), Governor Ned Lamont (center), and the Federal Transit Administration’s Peter Butler (farthest right) present the milestone award grant.

CTtransit is excited to share that Governor Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) recently announced a $38.9 million Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant to help convert our CTfastrak to an all-electric bus fleet.

“This significant investment showcases our commitment to sustainable transportation and underscores our dedication to fostering skilled professionals for the future,” said Thomas E. Stringer Jr., General Manager. We look forward to this initiative’s positive impact on our community, environment, and local economy. Thank you to the FTA and the CTDOT for their continued support.”

This significant grant, awarded through the FTA's Low or No Emission Grant Program, will facilitate the purchase or lease of zero-emission transit buses and the necessary facility upgrades.

CTtransit will use these funds to acquire 46 battery-electric buses and install 29 chargers for the CTfastrak bus rapid transit service. The grant will also cover the cost of installing 25 depot chargers at the Hartford facility, four on-route chargers at the CTfastrak New Britain Station, and the required electrical infrastructure. This initiative is backed by over $17 million in matching state funds and $30 million from federal formula funds.

This milestone represents a monumental leap towards Governor Lamont's objective of transitioning the entire statewide public transportation bus fleet from diesel to zero-emission models by 2035. It's a testament to our collective commitment and the potential for a greener future.

Governor Lamont.

“The new battery-electric buses and chargers will help us meet the growing demand for reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly transit options, and will greatly benefit the thousands of residents and commuters who rely on CTfastrak services every day,” said Governor Lamont. “Thank you to the Biden-Harris administration for continuing to invest in green technology that will modernize Connecticut’s public transit system and spur new economic opportunities across the state.”

Around $5.6 billion in funding has been allocated through President Joe Biden’s recently enacted Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support the replacement of thousands of public transit vehicles nationwide.

 

Connecticut Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto addresses the media.

“Investing in electric buses for the CTfastrak fleet is a forward-thinking move that highlights Connecticut’s dedication to sustainability and innovation,” said Connecticut Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto.

CTfastrak was recently recognized as the best bus rapid transit system in the United States by the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy.
