One of CTrides’ main objectives for FY ‘18 centers around an in-depth analysis of CTrides marketing strategies through the use of behavioral economic tactics. BEworks CTrides procured the services of BEworks, a firm that specializes in behavioral economics, to take a holistic look at CTrides’ entire marketing portfolio. Further, BEworks will engage with CTrides employer partners to get a better understanding of how organizations are receiving messages and what will drive them to use an alternate commute. This process will take the entirety of the fiscal year and kicked off in Q4 with the planning and developmental phases. A discovery stage involved CTrides providing current marketing materials to BEworks as part of their initial examination, as well as interviews with current CTrides team members and key stakeholders at the Connecticut Department of Transportation. These interviews included the Commissioner’s Office. Once BEworks processes the interviews and materials, a workshop will be held in Q1 to discuss initial findings before employer interviews are conducted. Additional Marketing CTrides began development of a completely revamped Transportation Leaders program during Q4 for rollout during 2018 Q1 or Q2. This is intended to give organizations an incentive to continue to strive to implement commuter-friendly programs by creating multiple recognition levels that an employer can achieve.

  • City of Middletown Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community
    CITY OF MIDDLETOWN CONSOLIDATED PLAN For Housing & Community Development September 1, 2000 to August 31, 2005 Department of Planning, Conservation and Development City of Middletown 245 deKoven Drive Middletown, CT 06457 Five Year Consolidated Plan 2000-2005 - Middletown, CT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Consolidated Plan is the comprehensive guide for the next five years of community development. The Plan represents a collaborative approach to the identification of needs and the establishment of strategies for effective housing and community development. This year, the Plan has been prepared in conjunction with the State-required Comprehensive Plan of Conservation and Development in an effort to ensure that all City Commissions and Agencies are following the same overall plan and are pursuing the same goals, objectives and strategies. Over the past six months, numerous meetings have been held with housing and homeless service providers, business concerns, the housing authority and citizens representative committees. Whenever possible, the most current data from primary sources were used. In the last five-year plan, economic development and employment training were the key processes through which the City of Middletown proposed to increase the wellbeing of its homeless, at-risk, low- and moderate-income residents. This process, coupled with the resurgence of the regional economy, has worked. Unemployment was at a low of 2.9% in the City of Middletown as of February 2000. The HUD-adjusted Area Median Family Income is $59,600. The City is in very good condition as a financial whole. Unfortunately however, the gap between the majority of Middletown’s residents and its poor has widened.

  • CHAPTER 6: SERVICES and INFRASTRUCTURE Introduction
    Chester 2009 Plan of Conservation and Development Page 6‐1 CHAPTER 6: SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE Introduction Town services and infrastructure are the framework on which the community network operates, progresses, and interacts. Town services include governing boards and commissions, social services, recreational programs, education, public safety, and public works. Infrastructure incorporates tangible facilities that can be moved, expanded, modified, or removed. The library, town hall, community center, transportation, communications, parks, trails, water, sewer, fire stations, and schools are some of the significant facilities that enhance community character and quality of life. This Plan of Conservation and Development explores Chester’s services and infrastructure to provide recommendations to address future needs. To coordinate efficient and effective town planning, multiple services need to be supported by mutually shared infrastructure. A caveat in final recommendations within this section of the plan is the ability of the town to legally act within the context of enabling statutes outlined by the State of Connecticut. There are also policies and standards outlined by the state and federal government which the town follows in the context of receiving state funding or use of state property. Chester has significant acreage dedicated to state or regional ownership; parks, forest, regional watershed, and transportation. The town’s ability to coordinate future planning goals with infrastructure improvements in parks, roads, and utilities

  • Connecticut Public Transportation Commission Minutes of December 4, 2008
    Connecticut Public Transportation Commission Minutes of December 4, 2008 Fourth Floor Conference Room Union Station, New Haven Attendance: Members: Tom Cheeseman, Mort Katz, Russ St. John, Terry Hall, Rich Sunderhauf, Rick Schreiner, Yvonne Loteczka, Chris Adams, Alan Sylvestre, Bill Kelaher, Richard Carpenter. Ex-officio members: Susan Simmat (OPM), Connie Mendolia (DEP), Fred Riese (DEP). ConnDOT staff: Dennis King. Guests: Leo Petry. Chairman Cheeseman opened the meeting at 1:32 PM. Tom announced that today’s scheduled speaker, Michael Krauss, had phoned Tom earlier this afternoon to say that he would be unable to make today’s meeting. Following this, the minutes of the meeting of November 6 were approved as written. Tom mentioned that all Jobs Access and Reverse Commute transportation providers have been asked to submit 5% recission package cuts. For Tom’s system, Middletown Area Transit, this may force him to cut the return trip on the Night Owl run, which will mean that he can get workers to their jobs but not home. The Night Owl service provides 31,000 – 33,000 trips per year. Tom’s other Jobs Access service, the M Link, which connects Middletown and Meriden, provides 36,000 trips per year. His Jobs Access ridership has been growing at 3% per month. Also, the Department of Social Services may not have their Jobs Access contracts ready by December 31, which means providers will receive no money until after the new year begins. Some providers will need to borrow money to cover this interval. Comments from the Public None. Reports from Operating Entities Rick Schreiner said the impacts to Housatonic Area Regional Transit’s Jobs Access program from the 5% recission are not clear yet.

The college month campaign was reinvented with new initiatives and a name and a new Transit Rewards Program was developed. In addition to these new programs, the marketing team organized and implemented a New Haven Union Station redevelopment survey. Road Scholar During the month of September, CTrides organized and executed a back-to-school month campaign for college students. The campaign focused on transportation options for college students around their campuses and across the State of Connecticut. The central theme of the campaign was, “Become a Road Scholar.” This campaign required extensive preparation from the marketing team. One of the main brochures given out during this campaign highlighted the transportation options for each participating college and university. The brochures were customized outlines for each school and its surrounding transportation options. Working with the proper state agencies, the marketing team compiled the transportation information for each location, designed each customized brochure, and printed them for distribution at events. In addition to the customized brochures, t-shirts and other giveaway items were developed for promotion. Coordination between the marketing team, outreach team, and individual schools was imperative for the success of this campaign. Events were held at each of the 23 participating schools throughout the month. Transit Rewards The marketing team coordinated and launch a new rewards program called, Transit Rewards, during Quarter 3. This program is designed to benefit area businesses, restaurants and attractions from across the state and encourage transit ridership on Hartford Line, CTfastrak, and Shore Line East.

  • The Reality of Failing to Fund Transportation
    The Reality of Failing to Fund Transportation “I depend on VTD to get me to work and If I don’t have you guys to get me back and forth to work, what am I going to do? I’m struggling now at the $3.50 level and now am possibly I going to the $4 level – that’s $8 dollars a day to go back and forth to work! I really depend on this service; it is a good service. I hope everything works out. I really depend on VTD to get me where I have to go, and that is mainly to work.” Tonya C., Valley Transit District bus rider Prepared by the Connecticut Association For Community Transportation (CACT) 1 “A strong transportation system is critical to the economy of the state, and it’s certainly no coincidence that we have lost Connecticut-based businesses to those states that have such a transportation system.” Jim Gildea, President, Connecticut Commuter Rail Council Proposing a Dead State: Transportation & Infrastructure in 2018 and Beyond CACT has long been advocating for a strong Connecticut by supporting the criss-crossing lifeline infrastructure that is Connecticut’s transportation. Indeed, every year, more and more people rely on public transportation to get to and from work, to schools, universities, healthcare visits, shopping and to see family and friends. A vital and robust transportation network is fundamental to Connecticut’s prosperity: now and in the future. It just makes sense: if people can’t get to where they’re going, they’ll either not get there (loss of money, loss of spending, loss of time) or start the dangerous consideration that compared to other states, Connecticut lacks the necessary arteries to conduct business.
