Job Access
The M-Link Service, which connects the cities of Middletown and Meriden and serves Westfield Shopping Center and the Route 372 corridor in Cromwell, continued its modest growth in FY03. It remains one of the vital links in the regional economy, matching individuals with the geographical locations of jobs.
The Night Owl Service, which consists of two routes crossing the towns in North/South and East/West directions, saw a reduction in hours but nevertheless remains a vital ingredient in the economic vitality of the City of Middletown. Ridership should grow as major retail tenants continue to move into Middletown.
Urban Fixed Route
The Urban Fixed Route fleet was totally upgraded in FY03, with seven, new low-floor Gillig buses. They are more fuel-efficient and the marquee provides increased visibility for those who are visually impaired. The buses are equipped with ramps instead of lifts. Ridership showed a decrease due primarily to a depressed economy. However, we do expect a rebound in FY04.
Rural Fixed Route
Rural Fixed Route continued to be a vital ingredient in linking the rural suburbs with the urban areas in the region. Ridership dipped slightly in the beginning of the fiscal year but rebounded towards the end of the fiscal year.
ADA/Dial-A-Ride
FY03 saw continued modest growth in ridership, particularly in disabled riders. The District announced that a fare structure would be implemented in FY04.
