Greater Hartford Mobility Study Meetings Start this Week

November 7, 2023

 

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will host two in-person public meetings for the Greater Hartford Mobility Study.

  • The first public meeting will be on Thursday, November 9, from 6-8 p.m. at the Chrysalis Center at 255 Homestead Avenue in Hartford.
  • The second public meeting will be on Thursday, November 16, from 6-8 p.m. at the Cultural Community Center at 50 Chapman Place in East Hartford.

In 2020, CTDOT launched the Greater Hartford Mobility Study (GHMS), a comprehensive study aimed at addressing mobility challenges in the Greater Hartford Region. The study recommends transportation solutions to facilitate economic growth on both sides of the Connecticut River and in the region while improving public safety and expanding mobility choices to all users. The outcome of the study is a multi-modal transportation plan for the region, one which outlines a roadmap for future implementation of the various recommendations.

 

 

 

 

In both meetings, the study team will host an open house session from 6-7 p.m. with displays of the program’s recommendations and allow the public to connect with members of the study team. Immediately following the open house session, the study team will conduct a formal presentation that will discuss the PEL study process, study recommendations, and the subsequent steps for the program. The meetings will conclude with a question-and-answer session, where attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and offer comments regarding the study’s recommendations.

The study is recommending four major program components that are pieces of an integrated system of transportation improvements. For more information about the recommended components, visit hartfordmobility.com.

Language assistance is provided at no cost to the public and efforts will be made to respond to timely requests for assistance.
