Public Invited to CTDOT Active Transportation Plan Open Houses Across State

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will conduct a series of in-person open houses for the Active Transportation Planacross the state during the month of September and October. All meeting locations are ADA accessible.

"The Active Transportation Plan is a crucial step in creating a safer, more accessible transportation network for all Connecticut residents and visitors alike," said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Anna Bergeron. "These open houses provide an opportunity for CTDOT to gather valuable feedback from the public, working together towards a shared vision of improved mobility. We look forward to collaborating with communities across the state to make this vision a reality."

The plan is comprised of three phases. The first phase finished in spring 2025 and included identifying existing active transportation conditions on state roads, such as presence of bicycle lanes, shared use paths, and sidewalks; assessing the state's existing active transportation programs; and determining the statewide active transportation needs. The second phase includes development of proposed active transportation infrastructure improvements, prioritization of projects and potential funding sources, and recommendations for programs or policies that can improve conditions for active transportation. This phase will continue through fall 2025, culminating in the third phase of the building and publication of the Plan in 2026. Public outreach will be conducted during all three phases to engage communities and gather feedback to inform the plan.
