Transportation Studies
Stamford Bus & Shuttle Study
The purpose of the Stamford Bus and Shuttle Study is to complete a comprehensive evaluation of current CTTransit operations, services, rates, future transit needs, and to develop service and investment alternatives and recommendations for an enhanced urban transit system in Stamford. The study will also evaluate the public and private shuttles that serve the Stamford Transportation Center (STC), their impacts on bus operations and traffic circulations in and around the STC and their governance. In support of the bus and shuttle study, an analysis of the transportation system network for vehicles and non-motorized users will be developed, and land use and development conditions and potential will be documented. Funding, organizational, and support opportunities will be identified.
