On Monday, August 19, 2019 WRTD will be implementing changes to their bus routes. The new route brochures are now available online and on buses. Brochures will be arriving at various community locations in the next few days.
One new brochure includes all route information in English and Spanish. A Chinese version is available online.
Please see the corresponding pages for information about the new and revised routes.
The fall is going to be an exciting time at WRTD. We will be implementing our schedule and route change proposal that was recently reviewed by the general public. We will also be running a new fixed route – Hunting Lodge – which will be funded by the University of Connecticut.
At the beginning of May, WRTD was invited to speak on Community Access TV’s Windham Works. Representative Susan Johnson spoke with Katharine Otto, WRTD’s Shared Transportation Planner, about what has been happening at WRTD and what is hoped for the future.
