About Us
Building a Smarter, Safer, & More Connected New Haven
Equitable Mobility for a Healthier, More Secure Future
Access to adequate transportation options can increase physical activity, reduce stress and help increase family economic security.
The department is committed to an equitable transportation system that considers our history of transportation planning into a context sensitive, bottom-up approach to deliver a high quality of life for our residents and neighborhoods.
Building a Unified Transit and Transportation System
Our department is therefore committed to a bigger and more integrated transit, pedestrian and bicycle ecosystem that connects housing to jobs and people to their community.
The department is organized into four groups:
Traffic Control
Parking Operations
Safety Guards
Transportation Planning
Mobility That Moves New Haven Forward
The region’s transportation infrastructure ‐ consisting of highways, railroads, port, airport and public transit systems ‐ is unique for a mid‐sized city.
And unique among larger cities in Connecticut, New Haven continues to grow in population and continues to expand its Grand List.
The city has made important strides to create jobs in a transit‐ rich, sustainable urban setting. Going forward in a time of increasing urbanization and global climate change, the depth of the transit and non‐ motorized system will become ever more critical to our overall environmental performance and economic growth.
