Future Projects
1. Proposed New Haven Streetcar - The City of New Haven is proposing to develop a modern streetcar line stitching together three growing districts: Downtown, the Yale-New Haven Hospital Medical District, and Union Station. The initial 3-mile line will serve as an alternative mode of transportation, with the opportunity to be expanded regionally to Hamden and West Haven (8-9 miles). As result, this will amplify livable, walkable and sustainable qualities of the urban environment, while relieving heavy traffic congestion to accommodate future development. The demand for transit will allow the light rail / streetcar system to connect residents and visitors to commuter rail lines and high speed rail via service to Union Station.
