E-mail press release from NHHS project:
Hartfordline.com Website Launched by CTDOT
in Preparation for May 2018 Service
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) today announced that it has launched a new website for its upcoming passenger rail service, the CTrail Hartford Line, at www.hartfordline.com. The website provides future Hartford Line riders a taste of what to expect when the service launches in May 2018.
“This initial Hartford Line website offers quick and easy access to essential information, such as schedules, fares, news and events. It will offer more comprehensive information, and be fully functional when the new rail service launches in May 2018,” stated CTDOT’s Public Transportation Bureau Chief, Richard Andreski.
The website features a “Trip Planner” tool that allows users to review schedules and plan travel once the Hartford Line service begins next year. At this time, the Trip Planner will serve as a tool for demonstration purposes only, and users will not be able to make reservations or purchase tickets until the Hartford Line service launches.
The initial website operates on a variety of devices including mobile phones and tablets. It features Hartford Line news and a Frequently Asked Questions section that covers topics ranging from connecting service options, senior discounts, and the permitting of bicycles on trains. Additionally, the site allows users to request a CTDOT presentation about the upcoming Hartford Line rail service for their neighborhood group, workplace, or school.
Throughout the next several months, the Hartford Line website will be enhanced with additional information and features, including detailed information on connections to other local transit options; interactive, 360-degree views of the train stations that will serve the line; and milestone events as the service approaches its launch date in May 2018.
