Old Saybrook — The Public Transportation Commission will host a public hearing at 7 p.m. Sept. 30 at Town Hall.

This will be the second of four commission hearings statewide this fall to gather testimony from the public, transportation providers, public officials and other entities concerning the operation of public transportation services, dial-a-ride and ADA transportation and other issues.

The commission is seeking public comment on the extent to which existing services are meeting public needs and on improvements or new services to address unmet travel needs.

Local and regional issues of particular interest include transit service in the Route 81 corridor, additional shoreline transit service, increased bus stop locations, the need for a bus storage and maintenance facility for the Estuary Transit District, the adequacy of Shore Line East rail service, and other topics of interest to the public.

The commission will use the testimony received at this public hearing as well as from other hearings conducted across the state in preparing recommendations for its annual report to the governor, the commissioner of transportation and the Transportation Committee of the General Assembly.
