AN ACT ESTABLISHING A NEW PILOT PROGRAM TO TEST ON-DEMAND MICROTRANSIT SERVICES IN THE COUNTIES OF WINDHAM AND TOLLAND.

SB 406 establishes a two-year pilot program to test on-demand microtransit services in Windham and Tolland counties, specifically targeting rural areas currently without public transportation. The program, funded and managed by the Department of Transportation, will provide flexible, app-based shuttle services to residents in these underserved regions. It directly affects county residents who lack existing transit options by offering a new mobility solution. The bill focuses on evaluating this service model's feasibility before potential expansion.
