Whether you’re heading to the waterfront, commuting along the coast, or connecting from ferry to final stop, the CTrides app helps you plan the journey and save money along the way! 💰

CTrides brings together transit, carpooling, biking, and more (though we think adding boating would make it better!) so you can find the best way to travel across Connecticut, track your trips, and even earn rewards along the way. Plus, it's fun to see how much you're saving in real time!

For Connecticut’s ports and coastal communities, that means easier connections between:
*Ferries, rail, and bus networks
*Waterfront workplaces and inland communities
*Sustainable travel options that reduce congestion and emissions

Because a stronger blue economy depends on seamless movement between land and sea.

For Memorial Day, we honor those who protected our shores.

Fort Trumbull in New London defended Connecticut’s coastline from the American Revolution through World War II. Today it stands as a reminder of our maritime resilience and a key stop on the America 250 Heritage Trail.

On National Maritime Day, we honor the mariners and maritime professionals who keep Connecticut’s ports and waterways moving. 🚢

We were recently aboard AMISTSAD at Mystic Seaport Museum. She's a powerful reminder of the history, resilience, and innovation that continue to shape our maritime future.

Nurses have long played a vital role in maritime history.

As we recognize National Nurses Day, we’re shining a spotlight on the crucial contributions nurses make on and around the water. From tending to injured sailors aboard historic vessels to supporting modern seafarers working long shifts in ports and offshore environments, nurses have always been essential to keeping maritime operations moving safely.

🏥🚢 Today, maritime and occupational health nurses help protect port workers, vessel crews, and first responders—providing care in some of the most challenging work environments imaginable.

At Connecticut’s ports, health and safety are just as critical as cargo and commerce. This week, we thank nurses everywhere for being steady hands in rough waters—on land and at sea.
