Final Report, July 2024 – June 2025
Description:

This report examines some of the economic and real estate impacts of Connecticut’s CTfastrak and Hartford Line transit systems through a multi-phase, data-driven study. Findings reveal evidence that proximity to transit stations is associated with increased property values, higher property tax revenues, reduced residential and commercial vacancies, and enhanced transit-oriented development (TOD). The research utilizes GIS mapping, causal analysis, and infographic visualization to assess changes in real estate markets and municipal development. CTfastrak shows particularly strong gains due to its earlier launch and novelty as a Bus Rapid Transit system. Policy recommendations include expanding TOD zoning, incentivizing private investment, ensuring housing affordability, and enhancing data monitoring. With recent federal funding to expand the Hartford Line, these insights are timely and critical for guiding future infrastructure investment and urban and regional planning efforts. The study highlights how integrated transportation planning can promote sustainable growth, improve mobility, and deliver broad economic benefits across Connecticut communities.
