Interested in Doing a Road Safety Assessment in Your Town?
Of the 21,000 miles of roadway in Connecticut, 82% are maintained by local municipal agencies. To make significant progress in reducing the number of crashes, serious injuries, and fatalities in Connecticut, the safety along local roadways needs to improve. The Safety Circuit Rider Program at the T2 Center is a resource your town can use to assess the safety of your local roads and come up with solutions to solve safety problems. To schedule an appointment for our Safety Circuit Rider to come do a Road Safety Assessment in your town, contact Tony Lorenzetti.

On September 18th, another round of Transportation Leadership Program (TLP) participants presented their Capstone projects to their peers. The projects from the TLP participants were full of such amazing resources that we decided they had to be shared. The T2 Center will be building a new page on the T2 website to house all of these resources for anyone who might be interested in learning about new and innovative ideas. Stay tuned for more updates on this page in the next few months!
