Public Outreach

The CTDOT will be working with a Statewide Active Transportation Committee representing other state departments as well as Councils of Government throughout the planning process. CTDOT is working to provide residents from every background with multiple opportunities for equitable and meaningful engagement. The ATP will include the insights provided by the first-hand experiences of the people who walk, bike, or roll on Connecticut’s state roadways – that’s you!
