Do you think Connecticut needs more buses? Highway entrances and exits? Commuter blimps? The state Department of Transportation (DOT) would like to know.
According to a press release by the governor’s office, the DOT recently kicked off Transform CT to “help define the very future of Connecticut” by asking state residents, businesses, and transportation advocates about how the state can improve its transportation system.
DOT has launched a Transform CT website to solicit requests and advice about the transportation issues facing the state. In addition, DOT plans to hold meetings, conduct focus groups, and distribute surveys in order to get public input about what DOT Commissioner James Redeker calls “a strategic approach to connecting our cities and towns.”
“Most importantly,” Redeker says, “it gives the public a direct role in . . . improving our transportation system [and making] Connecticut a more competitive, sustainable, and livable state.”
