Regional Rides Program
The Coordinator is involved with the Greater New Haven Transit District (GNHTD) and the South Central Region Council of Governments (SCRCOG) in making improvements to the Town’s Senior and Disable Transportation. The GNHTD, SCRCOG and 15 Town’s from the region including, East Haven, collaborated on a grant from the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation to make necessary improvements to our transportation options. We now have a Regional Rides program that will take our Seniors and Disable residents anywhere within the participating region for both personal and medical purposes. The Coordinator is currently in the process of establishing an additional fixed bus route and additional bus shelters in collaboration with the GNHTD and the East Haven Senior Advisory Board.
