WRTD celebrates new buses and era!
On Thursday, December 13, 2018 Windham Region Transit District celebrated the arrival of two new 35ft long buses. These buses, purchased from New Flyer, will be used on several of WRTD’s fixed routes. WRTD also celebrated the arrival of a new logo and new era which is underway.
WRTD received congratulations from State of Connecticut’s General Assembly. The Official Citation was introduced by Representative Susan Johnson, Representative Gregory Haddad, Senator Mae Flexer, Representative Tim Ackert, Representative Linda Orange and Senator Catherine Osten.

Ribbon Cutting on December 13
WRTD is excited to announce the arrival of new buses in its fleet. Several of WRTD’s fixed bus routes will benefit from the arrival of these buses, including popular Storrs-Willimantic route which had passengers making 84,000 trips last year.
In August WRTD also finalized the design of a new logo. This new brand confirms the arrival of a new era which is already picking up pace at WRTD. Earlier in 2018 WRTD started using a bus tracker with a website and app for riders. WRTD also has a revitalized online presence on its website, facebook and twitter. Other plans are also in the works.
The Ribbon Cutting will be held:
– Thursday, December 13, 2018 at 3:30pm
– WRTD Facility, 28 South Frontage Road, Mansfield Center, CT
All are invited. Please email Katharine to RSVP.
