Description
The Community Connectivity Grant Program (CCGP), administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), provides funding directly to municipalities for smaller-scale infrastructure improvements in urban, suburban, and rural community centers. It supports construction projects that improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users.
The program aims to encourage walking and bicycling as healthy, environmentally sustainable transportation options and make Connecticut’s community centers more attractive places to live and work. It addresses targeted infrastructure needs commonly identified through Road Safety Audits or other transportation planning initiatives. Completing a Road Safety Audit is not a prerequisite for funding.
