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.  Click here to view the citation that recognizes the work WRTD has done.

Below are a selection of photos from the event.  Thank you all for attending and celebrating with us!
