Introducing one road to a more vibrant central Connecticut. Introducing CTfastrak. Connecticut's first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system providing state-of-the-art transit service that takes advantage of a bus-only, traffic-free roadway. Opening in early 2015, this valuable infrastructure will do so much more than reduce congestion along I-84. Serving as an economic engine for central Connecticut, CTfastrak will bring a projected 16,000 riders to their destinations daily, providing communities and businesses with thousands of new economic opportunities. One road. Many destinations. Between New Britain, Newington, West Hartford and Hartford, passengers will have quicker, easier access to employment, shopping, cultural, educational and healthcare destinations, including: • Central Connecticut State University • UConn Health Center • Westfarms Mall • St. Francis and Hartford Hospitals • Buckland Hills area • Bushnell Park • XL Center • Aetna, Travelers and many downtown offices Taking just 20 minutes to travel between Hartford and New Britain, and with buses that arrive every three to seven minutes during peak periods, riders can avoid rush hour altogether. Express buses will access the bus-only, traffic- free roadway from Bristol, Waterbury, Cheshire and Southington, extending the reach of this efficient transit system.
