The Orchard Street Mobility Study examined existing conditions and used data-driven analysis to develop traffic-calming recommendations for three high-interest segments along the 1.55-mile Orchard Street corridor in the City of New Haven. The proposed improvements to Orchard Street prioritize elements of a low-speed, low-volume thoroughfare to provide an alternative to neighboring north-south corridors like Sherman Avenue/Parkway and support the future development of a full Neighborhood Greenway.

A technical study evaluating the conversion of key downtown streets from one-way to two-way operation.

Safe Routes for All (SR4A) Active Transportation Plan (2022) Citywide Safety & Active Transportation Plan. A comprehensive, citywide plan outlining New Haven’s strategy to improve roadway safety, increase walking, biking, and transit use, and reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The plan includes a High-Injury Network analysis, community engagement findings, and prioritized safety strategies and projects.

Prepared through a partnership between the City of New Haven, Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), Greater New Haven Transit District (GNHTD), South Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), this report documents existing conditions and performance of the CTtransit New Haven bus system serving 20 municipalities throughout Greater New Haven.

The study found that while CTtransit New Haven carries nearly 10 million annual passenger trips and provides strong regional coverage, service performance varies significantly across routes. The report evaluates ridership patterns, service reliability, transit-supportive infrastructure, market conditions, and public feedback, and identifies opportunities to improve access to jobs and schools, strengthen multimodal connections, enhance customer experience, and modernize the regional transit network. The findings served as the foundation for subsequent recommendations to improve transit service throughout Greater New Haven.
