In session year 2022, Governor Lamont signed into law H.B. No. 6001. This legislation included the extension of fare-free service on Connecticut’s public transit buses. The suspension of fare collection will reach one full year on March 31st, 2023.(This is the maximum date that complies with 12-month length-of-time federal restrictions for temporary public transit pilot programs.)
Connecticut Department of Transportation shared the fare payment and cost information in a press release on March 20th, 2023.
