SEAT must advise our customers the current Smart Ride service will cease operations July 1, 2025.  We must take this action as the program was funded with special one-time Federal COVID grants, and those grants have expired.

Despite the best efforts of New London officials, an alternative funding source has not been found at this time.  We will continue efforts to secure new funding to restart Smart Ride.

Meanwhile, Smart Ride will be available in evenings from 8PM to 12:30 AM, Monday-Saturday (starting June 30), and Sundays (starting June 29) from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

Also, SEAT will continue to provide fixed route bus service and ADA paratransit service (for those individuals with a disability who qualify) throughout New London.  Any pre-paid fares for Smart Ride are accepted on all SEAT buses, and staff is ready to assist customers in transitioning to that service.

In addition, ECTC (Eastern CT Transportation Consortium) may have transportation options for New London residents.
