  • New London Smart Ride Cessation

    Smart Ride Update.  The original plan to suspend Smart Ride on July 1, has been delayed to August 1, 2025.  The Board of Directors is reviewing options for continuing the service beyond August 1 at a Work Session on June 24, 2025.  Smart Ride was funded with special one-time Federal COVID grants, and those grants have expired.

    SEAT continues to provide fixed route bus service and ADA paratransit service (for those individuals with a disability who qualify) throughout New London.  Any pre-paid fares for Smart Ride are accepted on all SEAT buses, and staff is ready to assist customers in transitioning to that service.

    In addition, ECTC (Eastern CT Transportation Consortium) may have transportation options for New London residents.
