UConn Transportation Services is excited to announce that CTtransit will provide public bus service between the UConn Stamford campus and the Stamford Transportation Center, which will replace the shuttle bus service previously provided by the University.
Beginning August 26, CTtransit offers convenient transit bus service between the UConn Stamford campus and the Stamford Transportation Center via Route 355 (The UConn Stamford Connector). The 355 service operates weekdays, with the first trip departing the Transportation Center at 7:00am followed by trips every half hour throughout the day. The last trip departing the UConn campus in the evening at 10:15pm returns to the Transportation Center for 10:25pm. Route 355 operates on UConn class days during the fall and spring semesters only. The Connector will not operate if campus closes for weather events.
A CTtransit branded bus will be used when the service begins. The bus will eventually be rebranded in an UConn design.
Buses on the Route 355 serve three stops: The Transportation Center Bay “A”, Washington & Main at the University’s residence (900 Washington Boulevard, Northbound & Southbound), and the bus stop on Franklin Street adjacent to the UConn campus.
Those arriving at the Stamford Transportation Center should board buses displaying the designation sign, “355 UConn Stamford,” for service to the UConn Stamford campus. Those departing campus should board buses with the destination, “355 Stamford Transportation Center”, for service back to the station. UConn faculty and staff will be required to present their UConn IDs to the driver when boarding to receive service at no charge. UConn students will be required to present both their UConn IDs and current U-Passes for free service.
The public fare for the local route service is $1.75 for a two-hour pass.
