GNHTD Service Changes
Effective 10/01/08
Recently the State of Connecticut offered additional funding to supply transportation to individuals that are 60 years or older or for individuals that have a disability.
This funding was offered to each Municipality in the State. The Municipalities were encouraged to “pool” their money with a Council of Governments or a Transit Agency to supply transportation regionally.
The following Municipalities chose to pool their funding with Greater New Haven Transit District (GNHTD); Bethany, Branford, East Haven, Guilford, Hamden, New Haven, North Branford, North Haven, Wallingford, West Haven and Woodbridge.
GNHTD has established a new service with this funding called Regional Rides Program (RRP) (AVAILABLE OCTOBER 19TH, 2009).
