Thank you for attending the August and September Public Information Meetings for the Connecticut Rest Area and Service Plaza Study!  Here is a summary of the verbal comments received by the study team.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is undertaking a study on Connecticut’s rest areas and service plazas. The study is evaluating the state’s overall needs, requirements, and options for rest areas and service plazas and is also evaluating the needs of each individual existing facility. The study will result in a long-term plan to move Connecticut to the forefront of states providing highway rest facilities and traveler services and will also recommend specific facility improvements.

This website provides information about the study, including ways for the public to get involved by learning more or by submitting comments throughout the study process.  There will be many opportunities for public comment on the study.
